Born and bred in Edinburgh, Greg McHugh is a rising star on the Scottish Comedy Circuit. Greg is no stranger to the art of performing having studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, and it is perhaps this background that gives him his unique and irrefutable stage presence.

Greg’s act has a wide appeal. Perhaps this is due to his natural ability to immediately connect with his audience whatever its’ make-up, or possibly his intricately woven stories based on everyday life that people can relate to. Whatever his secret, Greg possesses a rare energy which enables him to captivate his audience from beginning to end. His material includes elements of popular culture, observational anecdotes and views on the world at large yet he manages to keep it original, compelling and more importantly very, very funny.

Greg has been gigging regularly at comedy clubs throughout the country since he made his debut in January 2002. His career has gone from strength to strength with appearances at many major clubs including headline spots at The Stand Comedy clubs in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Greg also made a guest appearance on popular ‘Live Floor Show’ (BBC).

In early 2006 Greg wrote and created a character based on a camp Tank Commander which was then commissioned by Channel 4 for their ‘Funny Cuts’ Series as shown on E4. Following the success of the broadcast, the director of ‘Gary: Tank Commander’ (William Andrews) was nominated in the ‘Best First Time Director’ category at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2006.

In March 2007 Greg performed as Gary Tank Commander at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, at The Tron Theatre In Glasgow, the show was produced by The Comedy Unit.
