Des McLean burst on to the scene
in 1999 and has capitalised on his Glaswegian roots, launching himself
upon an unsuspecting public. His rise to prominence on the Scottish
circuit has only been bettered by success in competitions, television
and radio performances. In 2000 Des was a finalist in the BBC
New Comedy Awards and reached the semi-finals of 'So You Think
You're Funny'.
In 2002, Des made his Edinburgh
Fringe debut at the Smirnoff Underbelly with "Des McLean Five Stars"
which achieved critical acclaim and sell-out shows.
In Dec 2002 Des appeared on the
BBC Live Floor Show to a rapturous reception.
His television credits have also
included warm-up with Denise Van Outen and Des has been a regular on
the Fred McAuley Show for the last few years. He has guested on
Beat 106, Real Radio, Chris Moyles, Radio Clyde
and Forth FM.
On the live circuit, he has appeared
most comedy clubs in Scotland and is now a regular in Jongleurs
and
The Stand. Des has also spread his wings further a field. He has
supported and headlined at many London clubs including the Amused
Moose.
'I'd be too afraid to come back to
Glasgow to do stand-up, there's a guy called Des Mclean, have you seen
him?'

get better'
