Ep. 168 - ‘Growing an Improv Scene’ with Martin James

🎙️ This week on Just Get A Real Job, Jamie is joined by Martin James — co-founder of the Glasgow Improv Theatre (GIT) and a driving force behind Scotland’s growing improv scene.


They chatted all about:

  • ​🎭 Starting an improv scene from scratch in Glasgow
  • ​🤔 What improv actually is — and why it's becoming more popular
  • ​🧠 The day-to-day realities of running a creative business
  • ​💬 Looking after your mental health while chasing your passion
  • ​🎓 What Martin learned studying in the USA
  • ​🏀 Playing basketball for the Scottish national team
  • ​🎤 His biggest comedy influences
  • ​📺 His thoughts on Saturday Night Live coming to the UK

It’s a loose, thoughtful, and inspiring chat about taking risks, building something from the ground up, and the joy of saying “yes, and…”
