AEG Presents are delighted to announce Comedian and Broadcaster Jamie MacDonald’s highly anticipated debut UK Tour. As a white, middle-class, straight male with an ok career Jamie fits the current stereotype of a loathsome, over-privileged, “Toxic Bastard”. However, based purely on the fact that he is blind , he’s constantly told he’s a role model! FYI, he isn’t toxic. But surely he should have the choice to be without people continually telling him he’s a hero?
Jamie MacDonald is an award winning blind Scottish comedian, writer and voice over artist. Most recently he has appeared on Live At The Apollo, Celebrity Masterchef, Have I Got News For You and three series of The Scotts (all BBC 1) and QI (BBC 2). In 2022 he won the Grierson Award for Best Presenter for his BBC 2 documentary Blind Ambition. His most recent TV show, Evil Escapes, has recently been nominated for a Broadcast Digital Award.
His radio credits include ; Radio 4’s The Now Show, Museum of Curiosity, Fred at the Stand, Rosie Jones Box Ticker and 2 series of his own show Life on the Blink. As well as acting, comedy performing and writing, Jamie is a professional voice over artist. His credits include adverts for David Beckham’s Bold Instinct, the Swiss Tourist Board, Tennants Beer and the Scottish Government, and the BBC One documentary, Without Limits. He was also invited to speak at the world famous Oxford Student Union and has performed seven critically acclaimed shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
He believes that disabled people don’t triumph over their adversities they triumph with them and get to have some fun with them along the way. Speaking of on the way, for further details of where Jamie is visiting on his tour, please check out . https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/jamie-macdonald/
