Er….apparently we’re going to be on the radio. It all happened rather fast. One second I was following mirth maestro Phil Kay as he ambled his way through the stuffed animal section of Kelvingrove Museum, the next I was being interviewed by a BBC reporter called Monica. How does that even happen? I should have hidden behind the Moose, but I wasn’t quick enough. The nearest thing was a meercat and that just wouldn’t have done.

If you’ve been reading our other “Phil Kay Does GI” blogs…which you really should have been, they are very interesting and insightful…you’ll already know that on Saturday, we were shadowed by a reporter from the BBC Radio Scotland Comedy Café, hosted by Janice Forsyth. The programme we’re going to be on airs on Friday 23rd April from 1315 to 1400. If you didn’t know that, well…now you do. You’ll also know that Phil Kay doesn’t like interviews, particularly if you’ve seen the first of our video instalments at the Sketchbook exhibition, where a rather frightened lady with long hair discovers exactly how little he thinks of them. I think the word “rubbish” may have been used.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that it was supposed to be just him being interviewed…not me.  I’m not Phil Kay. I don’t even have a beard, and I certainly don’t wear tartan on a daily basis. I’m not that fashionably adventurous. The most I will do is wear a denim shirt over jeans. Although I have been known to dabble in harem trousers, and I own a fedora. I also once wore a jade green jump suit and polka dot callots, (not at the same time….that’s a bit Sue Pollard)…anyway, that was in the eighties and doesn’t really count.

If you fancy hearing more about what the K-Unit got up to with on Saturday morning (apart from eating carrot cake for breakfast and stroking other people’s dogs) @ Glasgow International, you can do two things…watch our video blogs, and tune in to BBC Radio Scotland Comedy Café, Friday 23rd April 2010, 1315-1400.
