You Must Love Working Here is a photographic exhibition featuring people who work in comedy clubs who are not comedians.
The work will be exhibited during the 2013 Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Andrew, who is a stand-up comic and freelance journalist, had the idea of a project made up of photography and interviews that focussed on people in comedy clubs who were not comedians.
He asked me to be involved as the photographer as a great deal of my portfolio is made up of portraits and promos for stand-up comedians, and I worked in The Stand (not as a comedian) for over five years.
We concentrated on Glasgow-based comedy venues ranging from all-year round clubs such as The Stand to large tour venues such as the SECC and function rooms like The Bungo.
We had 10 participants, myself included, who we interviewed and simultaneously photographed. And I asked them to encapsulate all of their emotions towards working in a comedy club into one expression for me to capture. So often do people visiting comedy clubs come out with the statement: "You Must Love Working Here", now I was doing the same.
The interviews and click clicks of the camera were broadcast on the Comedy Cafe with Janice Forsyth as a radio package produced by Andrew on 14th December 2012 (which can be heard on the video above). Now we want to show you the pictures to go along with it...

If this is a success, Andrew and I intend to continue collaborating on stories and behind-the-scenes ventures, we may even expand this project and speak to people who work at this year's Fringe. To keep up to date with our next ventures follow us on Twitter: @andrewlearmonth and @jessmcfilm
