"My face makes it look like I'm wearing a tracksuit"... I don't even have the cultural background to really have any associations with tracksuit wearers, but somehow that seems absolutely accurate.

[@damonturnbull5903]

I love Larry. Met him in Brisbane and what a lovely fellow. Loved his show there. His comedy got me through a brain aneurysm. Laughter is the best medicine.

[@GreyRL]

6 months on, hope you're doing well chief. Scary stuff.

[@barbaravyse660]

I had one too four years ago.

[@qwincyq6412]

This guy deserves a bigger audience. He’s hilarious!

[@TheFiown]

I am Scottish, Glasgow born but raised in the north east Highlands. We don't have much of an accent, certainly not compared to Glasgow or Edinburgh and we use all our words with very little slang. They say we speak the 'Queens English'. One day as we sat having tea in Jenners Edinburgh (no longer exists ) there was a table of 'ladies' having high tea and talking a lot. My French partner asked me what they were saying, I replied that I had no idea, I couldn't understand the accent ! Edinbourgeois !

[@lanabmc3519]

Haha, then you arrive in Dingwall 😂

[@ScotVenus]

Haha nobody thinks they have an accent! I live in Troon, I don’t think I have an accent, but of course I do. To anyone not from Troon. What a nonsense comment.

[@mariannetfinches]

Finally understand "always leave them wanting more" means start making a statement about heartbreak, then leave without finishing the sentence 😂 I now have to trawl the internet find the rest of that joke!

[@hannathompson7998]

LOVE his bit about Denmark too, look that up! 😂

[@Otomokol]

Loved that ending

[@jackdubz4247]

I'm from Stirling, 30-odd miles from Glasgow and about 40 miles from Edinburgh, our local accent is a weird mishmash of both. A bit nasally (if you are from the Raploch) but also a bit from the back of the throat (if you are from Cambusbarron).

[@juliehill9247]

Could listen to the accent for days - love it -

[@lisaanderson7924]

He’s hilarious! Love his comedy and his accent

[@jamesmckay-mount8689]

That impression of Kevin is perfect

[@hankro1]

love this, Larry is amazing

[@petercolledge2236]

Lovely piece, thanks Larry

[@just-tess]

first bit of his I saw, GJ YT algorithm! loving the new special

[@oscarramage95]

I'd say the most famous Glasgow comedian would be Billy Connolly

[@markiliff]

That was the joke

[@MsJukijuki]

3min? now I understand my x-wife

The difference between someone from Edinburgh and Glasgow is in Glasgow they say oh you’re staying for your tea and in Edinburgh they will say oh you’ll have had your tea And I’m from emmbra 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've never heard anyone say "you'll have had" yer anything. Sounds like something from the pride of miss Jean brodie or something, proper twee

[@stephenswistchew7720]

@@ROFT well let me educate you I’m seventy six. And I heard this be for you were knee high to a grass hopper have you ever heard a Scotsman say here let me buy that for you It’s my treat

[@stephenswistchew7720]

@@ROFT so if that is the case I’ve heard more sayings than you stands to reason I sill remember the first gas meter televisions and the gas cell phones they were great until the gas run out usually during a phone call then you had to put a wee bottle of gas in and it was a bastard to lite the pilot light then the braille family televisions where the whole family had to sit there with all hands on the braille screen and showtime u)8

[@ROFT]

@stephenswistchew7720 an old couple neighbour when I was a wee boy had this thing on their black and white TV. It was a transparent plastic sheet with blue at the top and green at the bottom. It was to make the sky blue and the grass green when there was a landscape.

[@stephenswistchew7720]

For some reason I could not finish my wee story but the whole blind family would all put their hands on the screen and tell the rest what they were feeling with the dots on the screen it was hilarious some times when they wear watching bird flocks on the television And would read thier fingers to the bone and radio for the deaf never took off

[@CamMcGinn1981]

Weirdly enough, his jeans DO look like tracksuit pants. LOL

[@Knappa22]

What accents do the Family Ness have? They were the first Scottish accents I heard!

[@markmcgowan7340]

Don't you mean Mr kev.i.en 😂😂

[@tafua_a]

Wait, does that mean that Joe Hendry really talks like that? And that he's not just doing a weird inflection to sound more posh or whatever he's doing?

[@Water-of-life-whisky]

How do u get I might out with you, you legend

[@paulmichael8796]

Love Larry but what happened his hair

[@genericmeme]

Hair grows hun, look it up

[@FuckingHostile496]

I love this man. No gay.

Did that really need saying?

[@Scipio488]

I, too, love this man. But gay.

Love him too, but definitely gay. 😂

[@just-tess]

there's a great bit about this... from Romesh iirc

[@ulalaFrugilega]

What a strange audience!

[@arnielee9855]

You mentioned Glaswegian comedians WITHOUT mentioning the Big Yin?? Shame on you sir :(

[@PeteGibbons1]

As a Scotsman I actually found this funny. I know comedy is subjective, it I can’t stand Kevin Beidges. Just that voice.

[@someoneelse.2252]

A little more work and he'd make a name for himself. Decent act though.
