BOOK RAYMOND MEARNS • COMEDIAN & AFTER DINNER SPEAKER
Raymond Mearns is one of Scotland’s most respected comedians and after-dinner entertainers, renowned for his razor-sharp wit, natural storytelling ability and brilliantly observational humour. A hugely experienced live performer, Raymond has built a loyal following across comedy clubs, corporate events, awards dinners and theatres throughout the UK.
Born and raised in Glasgow, Raymond first came to prominence on the Scottish comedy circuit during the 1990s and quickly established a reputation as a unique and instantly recognisable voice. While comparisons to Billy Connolly have followed him throughout his career, Raymond’s humour is very much his own — warm, quick-thinking, intelligent and packed with relatable everyday observations.
Alongside his stand-up success, Raymond is an accomplished compère and after-dinner speaker, equally comfortable hosting major events, gala dinners and awards ceremonies. His relaxed style, sharp audience interaction and ability to adapt to any room make him a favourite with corporate clients and live audiences alike.
A regular performer at the Edinburgh Fringe, Raymond has received widespread critical acclaim for his solo shows, while one of the standout moments of his career came when Billy Connolly personally selected him as support act for his “High Horse” tour. It was a fitting endorsement for a comedian widely regarded as one of the finest and funniest performers on the Scottish circuit.
