It's the quickly cobbled together Hallowe'en cash in, er, special of Big Red's Fun Bus!

Episode 7 - Moon River

In this edition Vlad Mackay has a go at Twilight, Jimmy has a go at the sexual habits of those younger than him and David Hasselhoff, Rugger Man details why he quit drinking.

There's another Scottish lesson, Mercenary Charity Worker rages against the credit crunch and Simon "Strings" Mackenzie recommends his favourite club night.

Plus Malcolm dissects the Michael Jackson seance, finding water on the moon and Adele's Chasing Pavements and there's much, much more (alright three other sketches).

Episode 8 - No Well

It's Big Red's Fun Bus' Xmas Special!

Well we're all stuffed with turkey, unless you're one of those weirdos that eats salmon for Xmas dinner, and ready now to get this tinsel-filled sell-fest over with. But first let's catch up with all our favourite Xmas characters such as Santa, Rudolph, er...Santa and Noddy Holder.

Plus as it's Xmas there are plenty of commercials. Will you be seeing a Scottish based Xmas film, or heading down to Tony's for some gifts. Or will you just spend Boxing Day scratching your bum?

Big Red's Fun bus Live

Yes, really. Big Red's Fun Bus comes to the live stage in a show that psychic soothsayers are already calling "a triumph" and "an effing disaster". See for yourself which it will be on March 24th at Paisley Students Union.

Tickets are £2 and available from me either via the Facebook page (search for Big Red's Fun Bus and become a fan) or in person. The times are variable, let's be honest it's the basic human need to compartmentalise the passage of existence that's making me put some on it. On other words doors are 8pm then the "experience" (Ant Rogers, Paisley Student's Union) starts soonish after.

Come for the ride (insert other bus-like reference here).

 Episode 9 - You Decide! 2010

That's right, it's election time in the UK. So get those gladrags on and get down to your local school/community centre/municipal dump and get a-voting.

Whether it's the live debates, Bigotgate or the Lib Dems finding out what people paying attention to them feels like this has been a riveting* election campaign, and Big Red's Fun Bus has chosen to ignore most of it before making some fart gags and class politics jokes as per usual.

So make your election night Dimbleby-free by listening to You Decide 2010! We promise it'll change the way you look at politics**.

*By "riveting" we mean about as interesting as staring at rivets
**It won't but that's how politicians talk, see?

Episode 10 - HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNK!!! (World Cup Special)

The football (soccer to those who prefer football to be played with your hands) is in full swing in South Africa and as per usual the games are mince, the punditry awful and Scotland aren't there.

Still there's much to love, like English arrogance, ITV missing a goal to show a commercial and those Vuvuzelas. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!

Volume 2 Episode 1 Part 1

Welcome to the first part of the first episode of the second volume of Big Red's Fun Bus, or Episode 11 Part 1 if you will. Look on the previous ten episodes, or what is now being called by me at least Volume 1, as an extended, really drawn out pilot show. Well this is the first bit of the second pilot. Instead of sketches this features myself chatting with good friend and fellow comic John Speirs about lots of random things, for a very long time, hence this being split in two. Why pilots? Because the future plans for Big Red's Fun Bus is for the show to be a combination of both of these forms in an exciting, new format that's been done many times already no doubt.

Anyway, in this part we talk about the Pope's visit to Scotland, said country's inability to play football, Twilight's many failings, Mario turning 25, and dodgy haircuts. There's probably some other stuff too.

I liked it.

Cheers! Just looking at shaking things up a bit to keep it fresh (or easier ha!). Sketches will return next time whenever that may be!

Volume 2 Episode 1 Part 2

Part 2 of the first part of the second bit of a pilot or something.

Anyway in this part we talk about Lost's many unresolved questions, what we've been getting up to over the past year, our hopes and fears for our upcoming live show, and a whole lot more (or less), all in really thick Scottish accents so good luck!

Volume 2 Episode 2

Hello and welcome to another new Big Red's Fun Bus podcast. Doing another wee experiment this time by mixing solo rants with some sketches.

In this edition I look at Hallowe'en and why parents being frightened to send their kids out is damaging to society, I trawl the supermarket to find a good porn name, and look at the fear that having a Tory government may lead to the murderisation of the Scottish working class.

Also in this edition, the Mercenary Charity Worker gets desperate, Eddie Armin presents his ghost busting service, and Leo DC tells of the time he worked with Jack Nicholson.

Plus Malcolm briefly looks at the perils of online shopping and there's another Scottish word for you to learn.
