SANDRA JOHNSTON
Sandra says bollocks to male rule
Life is sweet for Sandra Johnston. The 31-year-old from Wellhouse is giving the men a run for their laughs in the chiefly male-conquered world of
stand-up.
The Stand's resident weekend comperes may well be female. and more chicks flock to comedy gigs than men. but when it comes to the onstage line-ups, women are stand-up‘s
shrinking violets.
A performer for over two years, a member
of the nurturing Stand Up Scotland
festival show in 2001, and a finalist in
the Wilkinson Sword Cutting Edge Comedy Competition last year (she lost out to bizarre country bumpkin
Dylan), Johnston is steadily carving a
cosy niche for herself in Scottish comedy.
The occupational therapist day job
provides her with plenty of feisty feminist observations. covering everything from self-help books to faddy diets. This is one female fast
becoming more deadly than the males.
