Jamie MacDonald

Jamie MacDonald is a Glaswegian stand-up comedian, writer and voiceover artist, who is also blind

MacDonald?s blindness flavours his comedy but doesn?t define it. That said, he has found that his disability allows him to extract comedy from lesser explored areas; like the jealousy he feels towards laboratory mice with 20/20 vision.

?gloriously funny? ? ???? The Telegraph

?not afraid to milk his disability? Broadway Baby

'Consistently hilarious? Ed Fest Magazine

?one of the funniest Scots on the circuit? Sunday Herald
