Comedian Jay Lafferty takes us on a humorous journey with heart-warming tales of 'jamminess' alongside hilarious reflections on the psychology and statistics of luck.
Jay and award-winning comedian Daisy Earl discuss her mathematical approach to dating which ultimately brought her luck in love. Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire Richard Wiseman reveals how a change in mentality can result in a luckier life and the different traits that lucky people possess. Founder of Scottish charity Lucky2BHere, Ross Cowie talks to Jay about the harrowing night on Skye in 2006 when he suffered 13 cardiac arrests, and reflects on the way his life has changed since 'that lucky event' occurred. Fellow award winning comedian Jojo Sutherland recalls her own brush with death as she suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage on stage, and muses on how even the unluckiest events can actually be quite the opposite. Shetland comedian and storyteller Marjolein Robertson and musician Rick Anthony talk to Jay about their bad luck with burglaries and the unexpected silver linings that they found after the loss of their posessions. Popular music academic Dr Matt Brennan describes weathering an unlucky ice storm in Montreal that would alter the course of his entire life, propelling him - luckily - to Scotland.
