Unique comedy show at Byre Theatre, St Andrews, is signed

After a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, two-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist Ray Bradshaw is taking his critically acclaimed stand up show '˜Deaf Comedy Fam' on a four-month UK tour, and it includes a date in Fife.

The show has broken new ground by being the only stand-up set performed and signed by the comic himself. Being raised by deaf parents, Ray’s first language is British Sign Language (BSL).

He has many hilarious and eye-opening tales to share – including the time he learned that Santa wasn’t deaf, getting out of trouble with traffic police and discovering a relative doing the interpretation for raunchy late night telly.
