Paul Pirie began his Stand-up career in April 2004 after giving up acting to pursue the funny man that lies within. (It should be pointed out that at the time he was living with his Gran, having given away his flat in a pub quiz).
Paul quickly established himself on the Scottish circuit, and had successful runs during both the Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festival from 2004 with sell out shows; Scotland 4 Australia 1 in 2005, Four Men and A Little Lady in 2006, and his sell out solo show, I Pirie the Fool, in 2007.
Paul joined esteemed comedy-improv group Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! in August 2005 and performs with them at The Stand, Glasgow every Monday. The show is currently in development with the BBC and they are in pursuit of bigger and better things!
As well as performing for the Stand on a regular basis, Paul can be seen gigging up and down the country.

“Amir Naderi is perhaps the best unknown filmmaker in the world.”
Washington Post January 25, 1991
“Amir Naderi (Persian: امیر نادری, born 15 August, 1946 in Abadan) is a notable Iranian film director, screenwriter and one of the most influential figures of 20th-century Persian cinema.
Naderi developed his knowledge of cinema by watching films at the theater where he worked as a boy, reading film criticism, and making relationships with leading film critics. He began his career with still photography for some notable Iranian features. In the 1970s, Naderi turned to directing, and made some of the most important features of the New Iranian Cinema. In 1971, his directorial debut, Goodbye Friend was released in Iran. Mr. Naderi first came into the international spotlight with films that are now known as cinema classics, The Runner (1985), and Water, Wind, Dust (1989). The Runner is considered by many critics to be one of the most influential films of the past quarter century. After a number of his films were banned by the Iranian government, Mr. Naderi left the country. Expatriating to New York, Mr. Naderi continued to produce new work. He was named a Rockefeller Film and Video fellow in 1997, and has served as an artist in residence and instructor at Columbia University, the University of Las Vegas, and New York’s School of Visual Arts. His U.S. films have premiered at the Film Society of Lincoln Center/MOMA’s New Films New Director’s series, the Venice, Cannes, Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals. His last feature, Sound Barrier (2005) won the prestigious Roberto Rossellini Prize at the Rome Film Festival.
Due to smaller distribution and advertising budgets, Mr. Naderi’s films are not as well known as most Hollywood films. Despite that and the lack of recognizable actors in most of his films, his work tends to find distribution (mainly in Europe and Japan), and he has earned a great deal of critical acclaim. Mr. Naderis films and photography are also frequently the subject of retrospectives at major festivals and museums throughout the world. Lincoln Center in New York, the city that has been his home for the past 20 years, offered a complete retrospective of his work in 2001, as did the International Museum of Cinema in Turin, Italy in 2006. The most recent retrospective of his work was screened at the Pusan International Film Festival, the largest in Asia. Mr. Naderi has served as a jury member of international film festivals for over a decade.
