Show Notes
Scottish comedian Susie McCabe criticizes Creative Scotland for alleged bias against comedy, highlighting the denial of long-term funding for the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

Comedians like Chris Forbes share her frustration, noting the lack of support for developing shows or TV ideas compared to other forms. The debate raises questions about funding choices shaping Scotlands comedy scene and the need for fairer support to nurture homegrown stars.
