Mexico 2025 🇲🇽 Mexico City-Teotihuacán-San Cristobal de las Casas-Sumidero Canyon-Palenque-Campeche-Uxmal-Merida-Chichén Itzá-Playa del Carmen-Tulum = trip of a lifetime! I’ve always had a wee fascination with Latin America. I spent four months in South America in 2013 and had the time of my life there, ever since I’ve really wanted to check out Central America and I was able to talk into coming to Mexico with me! We had such a fantastic time! The people, the history, the nature, the food and the Margaritas! 🍸 I miss it already 😭 what a country! 🇲🇽 I can’t wait to go back one day!

Being part of the Stand’s Hogmanay shows and getting to perform on a stage and in a club that means so much to me was the perfect end to 2024, one the most fulfilling years of my life both professionally and personally. A huge thank you to all of you who booked on a tour, came to my Fringe show, a whisky tasting, or came to see me perform in 2024 😊👍🏻 I can only hope 2025 is just as amazing! 🥳🎉🍾🥂🎊 #2025

A big thank you to everyone who joined Brahan and I for a tour over the festive period 🎅🏻🎄🎁 there was an Australia doctor who told a story so truly disgusting it ruined my Christmas dinner and is now an integral classic ‘Mountebank story’ - stories about ‘worm-farts’ is what the Christmas period is all about 😊👍🏻

The 5th annual Mountebank Christmas night out, my favourite night of the year when I get to treat my incredibly supportive best pals to some drams, scran and toast a successful year for Mountebank, thank you to everyone who booked on a tour or came to see me perform stand up or came to my fringe show or whisky tasting in 2024, it is greatly appreciated 😊👍🏻 #2024

22nd November 2024 I graduated from the University of Dundee as a Master of Letters in Scottish History, I had the best few days imaginable celebrating the culmination of almost four years of work with those closest to me, and of course I ensured the Bonnie Prince got the recognition he deserved! I promise to stop going on about it all the time now! 👨‍🎓

A big thank you to everyone who joined the Bonnie Prince and I on a tour this last week, you were all great! 😊👍🏻 The end of the cruise ship season seems to have correlated with less obnoxious annoying folk with zero attention spans, who’s a thunk it! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

This week I broke my record for number of walk off’s on a single tour (12!) 🥳 A big shout out to the guy from Toronto who, when I asked if he knew who Susan Boyle was, replied ‘no but we do have the Sioux and Cherokee tribes in North America’ 😂 everyone who made it to the actual selfie point was great, thank you all for joining the BP and I on a tour, September is hands down the best month to visit Edinburgh imo 😊👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The royal family are adept at hiding stuff in the north east of Scotland, usually billionaire sex traffickers, but in 1651 thanks to the efforts of a local minister and his wife they were able to protect the Scottish Crown Jewels from clutches of the ‘pricks prick’ of British and Irish history, Oliver Cromwell - - - #scotland #scottishhistory #dunnottarcastle #olivercromwell #mountebank #hystericalandhistorical

The 21st century Highlands is populated mostly by retired English people and frequented by Harry Potter enthusiasts, that’s because the people who once lived here were ‘expelliarmused’ from their homes by precisely the type of bumbling Ron Weasley type characters who frequent whichever Edinburgh private school JK Rowling based Hogwarts on! - - - #scotland #scottishhistory #scottishcomedy #highlands #scottishhighlands

On the 3rd of September 1650 a Scots and English met at Dunbar to battle over religion 🙏🏻 the monarchy 👑 and Scottish independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thankfully it was all sorted and we haven’t argued about any of that stuff ever since! 😊👍🏻 #mountebank #hystericalandhistorical #scottishhistory #scotland #scottishcomedy
