Comedy

A friend of mine, Gavin Sturgeon, is a stand-up comedian, and he asked me if I would come along to one of his gigs, and take a couple of shots of him on stage for promotional purposes.
Here are a few of the shots I took for him at The Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow.
Despite it being a very very dark venue, he was very pleased with the results. ( phew )
