Ewes, Coos and Teuchters - I hope you all speak 'farmer'.

Ewes, Coos and Teuchters - I hope you all speak 'farmer'. Comedian and farmer Jim Smith shares tales of growing up on his family farm in rural Perthshire.

Comedian and farmer Jim Smith is a proud teuchter. What is a teuchter? Well, Jim will tell you. 

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.
