BBC Radio 4 - Gary Little: At Large, 2. Killing Time… and Killer Tablet

Literacy, empathy and bags of sugar help Gary survive inside - with a team of killers.

Stand-up comedy. As Gary comes to terms with his sentence, he puts pen to paper to help a cell-mate. He shows his caring side and tries to stay out of trouble.

Stand-up comedy from a towering, imposing and reformed prisoner. In this episode, Glaswegian Gary Little lifts the lid on life behind bars, where a highly sought after job in the kitchen gives him access to valuable resources. He discovers a gift for ghost-writing and provides a muscly shoulder to cry on to a fellow inmate in distress.

Growing up in the second poorest area of Scotland, Gary’s life seemed set inevitably to be marred by depression, addiction or incarceration. The violence and social deprivation in Glasgow’s Springburn boiled down to survival of the fittest, where Gary’s honed wits kept him alive and prosperous.

But dodgy childhood deals led him to darker places - selling drugs to his friends, then their friends, and then… everyone’s friends.

More true criminal than true crime, this stand-up comedy series gives a different perspective of life before, behind and beyond bars.

Written and performed by Gary Little.
Produced by Julia Sutherland
A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4.
