Biography

  • Glaswegian comic and writer, Bruce Morton first made a name for himself in 1988, winning the first So You Think You're Funny? competition at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He was also one of the founders of the Funny Farm Comedy Collective in 1989, which helped start the burgeoning stand-up scene in Scotland.

    In 1992 he was nominated for a Perrier award for his stand-up show - he lost out on the main prize to Steve Coogan and John Thompson. The same year he hosted his own Channel 4 programme: 'Sin with Bruce Morton'. He later returned to Channel 4 to host the shows: 'Amsterdam By Night' and episodes of 'Halfway to Paradise'. He appeared on Channel 5 (now Five) as a returning guest on 'The Jack Docherty Show' and comedy quiz show, 'Bring me the head of light Entertainment'. He has acted in the short films: 'Edinburgh Pub Tales' and 'Wheels'.

    He is also noted for his written theatre plays: 'Blood Below the Window' (1998), 'Wake Me Up In The Year 2001' (2001). He also wrote an audio play in 2010 called 'Rain' for BBC Radio Scotland.

    He appears regularly on Scottish radio as a presenter or guest. He created short Internet films: 'Zoomer' and 'Return Of The Zoomer'. He also continues to write and perform in theatrical plays and stand-up.
