Scotland Made the World in Canada and comedian Bruce Fummey is coming to tell you how.
Bruce Fummey is the stand-up comic behind the 260k subscriber YouTube channel Scotland History Tours and he’s bringing his Scottish stories to life across Canada this summer. His show Scotland Made the World uses hilarity to highlight how events and people from Scotland shaped the world in which we live. Canada is very much part of that story, and he’ll be driving from Sydney, Cape Bretton in the east to Victoria, BC in the west doing shows in every province he passes through on the way.
He’s also planning to make two videos for his YouTube channel, Scotland History Tours, asking just how Scottish is Canada? Bruce said: “This is the second time I’ve toured a show across Canada, but the last time I flew over the flat bit. This time I’m driving coast to coast (with apologies to my friends in Newfoundland). I plan to make two videos asking how Scottish Canada is. The first will be in Cape Breton as I start and I’ll make another in Victoria to update what I’ve learned along the way. So, if anyone wants to give me their opinion they can email me on [email protected] .”
How key Scottish people have forged the world
As Bruce travels on this transcontinental trip the show will take people on a journey from 15th century Scotland to 20th century North America explaining how key Scottish people have forged the world in which we live today. “Don’t worry there’ll be plenty of jokes to spice up the history, and one or two of them might Indeed be quite spicy.” quipped Bruce.
Bruce’s first show took place at the Highland Arts Theatre in Sydney on 5th June and he’ll finish all the way across in the Victoria Scottish Community Centre on 26th July.
Nominated for comedy awards in Australia and at home in Scotland and even named Scottish Comedian of the Year, Bruce has appeared here in Canada on the CBC series Stuff the British Stole and numerous UK TV and radio shows. He’s also brought acting skills to bear in the Steve Coogan film The Lost King, as well as other UK based productions.
Scotland Made the World will be touring throughout Canada in June and July. Tickets available on the ‘Upcoming Shows’ page of Bruce’s website at: www.brucefummey.co.uk.
