Summary

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.

Written and Performed by Jim Smith Produced by Lauren Mackay Sound by Andy Hay and Barry Jackson Photo credit: Chris Quilietti
