Ray Bradshaw is a young comic from Glasgow, bases the concept of his show on a series of dares he received and a few of those he accepted and accomplished during 2013.

Bradshaw is an amiable comic who knows how to craft a story and like the natural raconteur he is makes each and every one into a funny segment.

The germ of the idea started when his brother dared him to have his eyebrows threaded, of course he did it, and things just escalated from there.

Bradshaw tells of skydiving, bull running, a part in a Bollywood movie, an unlikely date even representing Scotland at sport, all of which he achieved, he paints pictures as clearly to make the events tangible.

He works well with the audience too, looking for examples of dares they maybe have undertaken, and even if this was not forthcoming it didn’t matter as he had more ammunition in his locker.

There is still one ongoing dare which he and a friend are working on. He’ll tell you about it and even let you hear the product on the way out.

Go on, I dare you to see Ray, and I defy you not to have great time.
