Scotland’s acclaimed comic, storyteller and social commentator was a founder of the Funny Farm Comedy Collective which, in 1989, helped kick-start the Scottish stand-up scene. UK attention soon followed for Bruce, with appearances on C4’s ‘Halfway to Paradise’ in 1990, and he began writing and performing his own C4 shows, ‘Shoe Fetishist’s Guide’ and the series ‘Sin with Bruce Morton’. Milestones along the way include a Perrier Nomination at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, two UK tours and a critically acclaimed one-man show 'Blood Below the Window', premiered at The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in 1998, toured the following year and which prompted The Independent to comment, “Bruce Morton is not so much re-writing the rule book as throwing it away”. The show was subsequently adapted as a BBC Radio 4 afternoon drama. A master of the anecdote, the short gag and the shaggy dog tale, Bruce is a popular headline act at comedy clubs across the country and is a regular showstopper at the Stand Comedy Club. In 2017 Bruce appeared in BBC sit com 'Scot Squad'. Most recently Bruce played Ian Duncan on the BBC show ‘Still Game’.
