2 Apr
Summary
- An 88-year-old woman is learning stand-up comedy in Glasgow.
- She is part of a class for people over 50 taught by Viv Gee.
- The class culminates in live performances at The Social Hub Glasgow.
An 88-year-old woman named Marie McLaren is defying expectations by embarking on a journey into stand-up comedy. McLaren, originally from East Kilbride, is participating in a four-week comedy workshop in Glasgow specifically designed for individuals over 50. This unique class is led by professional comedian Viv Gee, who guides students through the fundamentals of joke writing and performance.
McLaren was encouraged to join the class by her daughter, embracing the challenge with enthusiasm. She acknowledges the potential stereotype that older individuals might be perceived as 'past it,' but she firmly believes that age is merely a number. The program culminates in live performances, where McLaren and her fellow participants will take the stage at The Social Hub Glasgow to share their comedic talents.
