Scotland can be pretty funny.

You see cows as hairy as the contents of a hairdresser’s bin bag, and learn stories more unbelievable than a low-fat deep-fried mars bar.

But what makes it even more hilarious is the local sense of humour.

And the best place to discover the chuckle-some jokes is at the Glasgow Life International Comedy Festival. The festival is on from 9th to 26th March 2017, and boasts 479 shows across 50 venues. What’s more, a lot of the shows are the perfect compliment to our day tours from Glasgow.

Here are 10 of the best tweets from some of the comedians that are performing.

I am all about boycotting and I hope one day I will be rewarded when an ethical company produces something just like a nestle mint aerobar.

Tragic so many died in 2016 but no use blaming the year. Like during the Black Death going "I've had it with 1353 & it's only January!"

The SImpsons has been on so long that when it premiered, I identified with Bart, and now I identify with Grandpa Simpson.

Stop slagging off @piersmorgan. He has more talent in his little finger than in the rest of his body put together.

I was late for my audition as a motorcycle stunt rider - so I jumped the queue.
