Jamie MacDonald is a Glaswegian stand-up comedian who lives with his blindness, despite those around him sometimes losing sight of what’s important in life.

Jamie examines pre-conceptions about disability, challenges stereotypes, and takes a hilarious trip down memory lane to see how far things have come.

In this episode Jamie shares stories of his time at school and the teachers that had a big influence on him, particularly when learning French. He also crystallises his experience of strangers asking the most ignorant questions about his sight.
