About the Book

What would you do if everyone in the world hated you?

Would you run?

Would you fight?

Or would you try to make them laugh?

Donald Robertson has no mates and he isn't funny. But with guidance from his new mentor Gary, he hopes that this is all about to change. Donald Robertson Is Not A Stand Up Comedian is a darkly comic coming of age story that explores the need to belong and deconstructs the brutal role that humour can play in society.
About the Author:

Gary McNair is a playwright, director and performer based in Glasgow.

His aim is to make work that will entertain and challenge audiences in equal measures.

After graduating with first class honours in Contemporary Theatre Practice from the RSAMD (now RCS) in 2007, he has produced work with and for many of Scotland's major theatre companies, and his work has been translated into several languages and performed around the world.

His most recent work includes A Gambler's Guide to Dying, which enjoyed a successful run at the Traverse Theatre during the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show received huge critical acclaim, was the recipient of a Fringe First and the Holden Street Theatre awards, and was featured in the BBC's best solo shows of the Fringe. It went on international tour in Australia in February 2016.

Of Donald Robertson Is Not A Stand Up Comedian, The Scotsman said it's difficult to imagine these vital questions about comedy, masculinity, hierarchy and cruelty being handled more skillfully, in such a short span, or with such a sense of self-questioning irony, from a writer and performer who knows his power to make audiences suspend disbelief, and who mistrusts and challenges that power, every inch of the way.
