Glasgow is known for its great sense of humour with the city having produced some of the finest Scottish comedians of all time.
You only have to look to Billy Connolly who was a trailblazer, making a name for Glasgow and sharing our patter with the entire world - at one point being one of the most popular comedians on earth.
Everyone has a tale to tell, and many comedians are proud to speak about their neighbourhoods which they were raised in with some referring to their upbringing in their humour.
