Me and the Farmer

2. Young, Free Range and Single

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Comedian and farmer Jim Smith always knew he was going to be a farmer, but his parents insisted he got an education. So, it was off to agricultural college for Jim in the big city of Aberdeen. 4 years of dancing, drinking and Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems mean Jim has a fair few stories to tell.

Me and the Farmer is a stand up show chronicling Jim's life as a working farmer in rural Perthshire. This isn't an act. By day, Jim works the land and looks after his sheep and by night he performs stand up to sold out venues across Scotland.

In each episode, Jim tells anecdotes about life on his family farm to a live audience in his nearest city of Perth. This is an honest, behind the scenes look at what it takes to be a modern farmer.

Written and Performed by Jim Smith
