Comic and Scottish History YouTuber Bruce Fummey returns to Hobart with laughs galore and quirky observations to explain how Scotland Made the World.

More jokes than the YouTube videos, and some might make you blush, but you’ll leave having laughed and learned about Scotland’s role in the world.

Bruce Fummey, the comedian behind the 230k subscriber YouTube channel Scotland History Tours, returns to Tasmania with a new show. Laughs galore and quirky observations as Bruce explains how Scotland Made the World.

Every Saturday morning, UK time, Bruce tells a story from Scotland’s history. This show will deliver more jokes than you’d get from the YouTube videos, and some might even make you blush. However you’ll still laugh as you learn about Scotland’s role in the world, and what created that kilted diaspora.

Nominated for comedy awards at Fringeworld, WA and at home in Scotland for Scottish Comedy Awards and even named Scottish Comedian of the Year, Bruce has appeared on ABC series Stuff the British Stole and numerous UK TV and Radio shows and brought acting skills to bear in the Steve Coogan film The Lost King.

Parental guidance recommended. An improvised show, it may contain some course language and adult themes.

Only one lighthouse. Two lighthouse keepers.

Usually the lighthouse is manned by one keeper at a time. This year however, the changeover hasn’t gone to plan. And two lighthouse keepers are stuck with each other for the season.

Join prize winning improvisers Harris and Tweed (Rowan Harris and Matt Wilson) for a tale of two men who can’t escape.
