Ray Bradshaw
Hilarity Bites Talent Management
Ray Bradshaw
The youngest regular MC at the Highlight chain of comedy clubs, Ray Bradshaw has quickly gained a reputation as one of the funniest and most dependable acts on the Scottish comedy scene, all by the tender age of only 23.
Having made his comedy debut in September 2008, Ray is already a double Scottish Comedian of The Year finalist, One of the most exciting new acts in Scotland, Ray has travelled the lengths and breadth of the country telling jokes to anyone that will listen, making his name as an MC for various promoters including The Stand, and also producing stand-out festival performances at T in the Park and RockNess.
Ray is now bringing his talents south of the border, with regular work for Highlight and Hilarity Bites just the first steps in bringing the ginger revolution to the rest of the United Kingdom.
Away from stand up, Ray is a graduate from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. He also has been working closely with the BBC on a pitch for a comedy documentary that will hopefully come to fruition sometime in the near future.

Review:
"Ray Bradshaw was the newest kid on the block, but had some of the most quotable gags of the night...there’s heaps of potential here once he develops more confidence in his material. And there’s lots to be confident about." - Steve Bennett, Chortle - Scottish Comedian of the Year Final - September 2009
