Farmer and stand-up comedian Jim Smith will be bringing hilarious tales of what it's really like to be a farmer in rural Perthshire to Radio 4 listeners in a new five-part series, Me and the Farmer.

 

Me and the Farmer is a stand up show chronicling Jim's life as a working farmer in Perthshire. By day, Jim works the land and looks after his sheep and by night he performs stand up to sold out venues across Scotland. In each episode, Jim tells anecdotes about life on his family farm to a live audience in his nearest city of Perth. This is an honest, behind the scenes look at what it takes to be a modern farmer.

 

Smith was a finalist in So You Think You're Funny in 2014 and has been nominated for numerous Scottish Comedy Awards. He has also had a cameo appearance in the hit comedy Scot Squad.
