COMEDIAN Tim Vine remembers the exact moment that his journey into comedy started.
Vine is set to play a number of dates during his tour of Scotland which will feature songs as well as the one-liners he’s become known for.Scotland holds a special place in Vine’s heart and, although he’s not performing at this year’s Fringe, he has twice picked up the best joke award and credits it as being a key turning point in his career.
