About Here Comes The Guillotine

Comedians Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd share their subversive and darkly funny opinions on the chaos of the world, offering wholly unqualified dissent to popular opinion. No topic is left off the table as three of Scotland's award-winning and best-known comedians use their unique unbridled style of rebellious comedy to discuss any given topic - politicians, celebrities, the Royal family, figures from history and many more. Here Comes the Guillotine delivers cutting and hideously funny commentary on the state of the world, economics, geopolitics, the lack of coherence in the universe...and cheery subjects like death, loss, and rejection! It’s just three best mates having a laugh in their own 'very Glasgow' way. For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: dax@global.com

Imagine people would still be listening to this and 40 years of whatever and we find these be shortcuts. Because actually it's quite complicated. And when you're writing something, you're trying to make it kind of timeless. So the moment I'm writing something set just after the Scottish referendum, but at the same time I want that to stand in for a general, you know, feeling in modern Scottish history of having just lost out and something of having, you know, a sense of absence or something that's been in this country since I was born, really, right?
