“a brilliant natural comedian…” - Edinburgh Evening News

Paul Pirie began his Stand-up career in April 2004 after giving up acting to pursue the funny man that lies within and quickly established himself on the Scottish comedy circuit. It should be pointed out that at the time he was living with his Gran, having given away the keys to his flat in a pub quiz. Since this time Paul grew up a little and now lives in Essex, (where his better half keeps the keys), and is making himself well known on the English Comedy Circuit.

Paul has since had a consecutive succession of sell out shows at The Glasgow Comedy Festival. In 2005 Paul joined esteemed popular comedy-improv group Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! (also featuring Raymond Mearns), and has helped with the development of the group. In 2006 'The Boys' caught the attention of BBC Radio who recorded the show at the Glasgow Comedy Festival and since then, Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! have gone on to work under the watchful eye of the BBC to develop regular radio shows.

Currently Paul appears regularly at: The Comedy Club (venues nationwide), Fymfyg in London, Bristol Jesters, Komedia, Comedy Café, and the Big Night Out comedy clubs in and around London as well as The Stand in Glasgow and Edinburgh, plus many more.
