take in the mirror every morning to remind him who he is. Some of you may recognise him as simple old Paul, others know him as the brilliantly named Bob ‘The Gob' Doolally, a football observer who puts the pun in pundit and the anal into analysis. For these two shows, though, he will be Vladimir, first up easing some comedy virgins on the road to stand-up fame in Red Raw, and secondly offering a preview of his forthcoming Fringe affair, A Brief History of Scotland.
