概要

Billy Porter's name is synonymous with Glasgow in the 1980’s and 90’s, where he was a hugely popular comedian in the pubs, clubs and venues of Glasgow and the west of Scotland.


Known for his quick thinking, sharp wit and on-the-edge humour, he was a cult favourite, and since his move to Tenerife in 2008, he’s been a must-see for any Scots travelling to the island on holiday.


Billy tells me about growing up in Shettleston in a family not blessed with an abundance of wealth, the same as most in that era…


He reflects on the impact of realising he was gay, in a harsh and unkind era, when it came to homosexuality…


And he speaks very candidly about his challenges with alcoholism, and the years through which the laughter flowed every night, but rarely from him.


You’ll know Billy Porter the comedian, but this conversation is Billy Porter the son, the brother, the husband, the friend, the wee guy from Shettleston and the man he eventually came to be.
