I personally LOVE the Scottish accent and don’t in any way think it sounds anything but beautiful. It does not sound unintelligent, but as someone with a southern US accent, I empathize with this a LOT.

'Every few seconds a wee voice off-camera would go "Oooh, aye" or, memorably: "TUG ON MAE PUBES, RHONA!"' is now firmly lodged in my heid. Ta, Fern.

The hallmark of great pornography is when you can hear the director giving the performers instructions.

[@ianjohn2648]

When she drops the line about the guy in the audience saying, "Thank god she knows" or whatever it was about being tested for autism I died of laughter because that was exactly what I was thinking leading up to that. My kiddo and I are both autistic and they thought Fern was hilarious when I showed them this.

"Might as well watch them filing a tax return" I laughed way too hard at that 😂

[@Brando56894]

As an American, I absolutely love the Glaswegian accent. It makes everything sound unintentionally hilarious. I worked with a guy who was from a village outside of Glasgow and when he got pissed off about something and was venting it was so hard not to piss myself laughing every time. I had never heard of Fern before, but I'll definitely be checking out more of her bits.

[@LordHorst]

Another comedian to check out is Limmy. He is from Glasgow, while Fern is from Bathgate, West Lothian. I'm not from Scotland myself, so I don't know how people from Bathgate react if you call their accent "glaswegian". :D

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I agree! And it's even funnier when the person speaking with that accent doesn't look like they would have that accent. At least, I wouldn't expect someone looking like Fern to have a heavy Glaswegian accent, lol.

[@Brando56894]

@@MatthewTheWanderer I can't help but think of "Fat Bastard" from the Austin Powers movies 😂

[@Brando56894]

@@LordHorst I looked into her and Scotland in general while watching her and it's only an hour from Glasgow to Edinburgh, so I'd imagine it's the same accent, but I could be wrong. Philadelphia is only about 2 hours from NYC and they are vastly different accents 🤷‍♂️

[@LordHorst]

Yeah, I get that distances in Europe must seem laughably small for an American. When you drive 5 hours, you are still in the same state. In Europe you can easily travel through 5 different countries in the same amount of time. :D Edinburgh and Glasgow have very different accents (look up interviews with Shirley Manson, who is from Edinburgh. While still having a clear scottish accent she sounds nothing like Fern or Limmy). But as I've said, I'm not from Scotland either, so what I say here might be complete horsesh... anyway. It's just that I made the mistake of calling an accent "glaswegian" once and then got a few angry responses from Scots telling me that the accent comes from small town to the south of Glasgow and sounds totally different from Glaswegian, haha. I was just trying to give you a small heads-up. :D@@Brando56894

[@StephaneDemers]

She's a great comic - a superb human.

[@bahoxu]

I highly recommend Ferns book 'strong female character' to anyone curious about autism in females. Fascinating read.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

I’m waiting for it to come in. Her background is fascinating. Autism is a spectrum of disorders that manifest themselves in entirely different ways depending on the person. Liz Miele, another comic, is autistic. So is Catharine Brennan - an MIT professor who has a great backstory. One of my daughter close friends is autistic.. and both of my daughters work with special needs individuals at various points on the spectrum. Interesting but not for me.

[@user-kb1hw2yq2f]

If youre a male and youre reading about females and autism, you probably have autism.

[@worldadventuretravel]

Ooh, she's autistic? Cool ty!

[@aellalee4767]

No wonder I like this comedian. Watched her for a while. Same time I was finding out I'm on the spectrum she also mentioned it in interviews. Life makes more sense now.

[@ayoungethan]

Her book is really good if you haven't already checked it out

[@granthiker1707]

And she was on Taskmaster. Its on youtube

[@TexMeta]

Honestly it’s so relieving talking to or listening to others on the spectrum. Feels like the only time something makes sense, and the only comfortable social interaction possible.

[@philiphunn194]

When I got diagnosed as being on the spectrum at 26, I felt so much weight lifting off my shoulders. Finally I had an explanation for why I do the things I do in the way that I do them.

[@nikismith3784]

[@skylarsa]

You don't need to be autistic to be an honest person? Tf

[@JuicyLeek]

@@skylarsaa sign of autism is the lack of ability to keep your honest thoughts to yourself. Emotional disregulation. Not everything that’s true is meant to be shared.

[@netyr4554]

I wouldn't say lack of ability, more of an occasional misjudgement, I doubt we could hold a conversation if we shared all truths.

[@lux_moto]

@@JuicyLeek That sounds so strange to me. People ask me a question, and I answer. Why ask a question if you're not interested in a genuine response? I am old and intelligent enough to know that you're right, but even after 60 years I never understood it. What is the benefit of dishonesty in the long run?

I could watch her sets over and over. Mainly because I only understand a quarter of it, and not the same quarter each time I rewatch it,

[@therealjordiano]

She's so genuine dude, great set here, very bold also, paid off

[@EddieTheH]

Nah, she's just ripping off Kevin Bridges.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

Yeah she's genuine and bold because she's autistic. She's a beacon of success for autisic people in comedy, whose whole deal is being socially underdeveloped despite being intelligent and capable. And to add to that, she's a woman. Autism in women is severely underdiagnosed and greatly misunderstood. Her existence and openness about her condition and how she's coped is going to help a lot of women, and likely save a lot of lives. She's bloody fantastic.

[@williamoarlock8634]

@@AkuraTheAwesome She's another reason I hate being autistic.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

@@williamoarlock8634 what? Why? What's wrong with Fern Brady that drives you to some degree of self-loathing? She's a successful comedian that a lot of people really connect with. She helped my autistic wife accept a diagnosis, and has lightened her mood towards the disorder. This wild Scottish weirdo is being adored and is successful? Maybe it's not so bad she thinks. Everyone is different of course, I'm just really surprised to hear people who don't like her because I find her personally really endearing.

[@therealjordiano]

@@AkuraTheAwesome I mean, I agree with you generally, but I must be pedantic and point out that her boldness and genuineness isn't caused by her autism, it's just part of her character

Funny thing happened (to me)…. I’m American and quite a bit older than most of the audience on line… yet, as I was reading all the comments, I realized that I was reading them in my head WITH A SCOTTISH ACCENT!!! This never happens to me with any other comedian regardless of their nationality or how pronounced their accent is. Did this happen to anyone else? It was like I got a temporary Scottish accent filter stuck in my ears (head) . Maybe it was because I really had to try hard to understand her. Please say something… reply to this comment if it happened to you. I would really appreciate it.

[@Datan0de]

[@dabaconpham7313]

I was totally shocked to find out not everyone has a voice in their head that makes observations and commentary on the events in the outside world. Having said that, everything I read has an accent... after reading a lot of comments on the internet, they usually start with an American accent, but that can morph into almost anything given context, and the first signs of intelligence and empathy completely cure the American accent,lol. Apologies to Americans who aren't already my friends, those who are my friends are smart enough to know that it's a joke, and a natural segue from those in the set we are meant to be commenting on, lolagain.
