Bruce Devlin burst onto the Scottish comedy scene in October 2000 when he stole the show at a stand-up comedy course graduation showcase where he was described as ‘a natural performer and in total control of the audience’, Evening News. Since then this original and outgoing performer has graced many stages with his magnetic presence, as well as appearing as a regular contributor on radio and now television. Since 2001 he has been performing to a growing fan base in Central Scotland as well as notching up an impressive number of Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows.

Bruce is a seasoned presenter of live shows and this May took on the Paxman role in the critically acclaimed Stand production Laugh, I Nearly Voted, examining the upcoming Scottish parliamentary elections. Each show culminated in an interview with an MSP which Bruce handled with exuberant aplomb. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 Bruce came into his own presenting his own daily chat show, Devlin’s Daily interviewing the best of the Fringe including Barry Cryer, Robin Ince, Guy Platt, Eddie Reader and Tommy Sheridan.

Bruce compere's for Channel 4’s Gags to Go live shows across Scotland and is a regular host of the Stand Comedy Clubs in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.

In 2007 Bruce took his presenting skills to the airwaves with his own radio show every Sunday throughout the Edinburgh Festival on Talk 107fm. He is also a frequent contributor to MacAulay &Co. (BBC Radio Scotland), Karen’s Summer Supplement with Karen Dunbar (BBC Radio Scotland, 2006), Gerard Kelly’s Summertime Thing (BBC Summer Supplement (BBC Radio Scotland, 2007). Also during 2007/2008 Bruce performed with his usual exuberance and style in his debut pantomime performance in Spillers Pantomime Cinderella at Motherwell’s Civic Theatre Pantomime as an Ugly Sister.

Reviews
"Scotland's Sharpest Interviewer"
Guardian

'With a tongue so sharp he could peel a King Edward' ****
Scotsman

'A wonderfully offensive performer who takes no prisoners but surprisingly makes no enemies'
Evening News

'Devlin's dexterity and virtuosity is staggering. A true wordsmith, like Jean Brodie, his language is genteel yet filthy. Bruce Devlin is uproariously funny.'
