Having started comedy in 2012, Struan was picked to participate in The Stand’s Comedy Academy, having lessons from some of the UK’s finest comedians like Simon Munnery, Vladamir McTavish and Susan Morrison. Struan has performed twice at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2013 with the mixed bill show On Tour (We Live Here) and in 2014 with Two More Liars. Both were well-received and included some big name acts as guests such as Will Franken, Steve Bujega, Pierre Novellie and Ian Smith.
Struan formerly ran and hosted Hand Drawn Comedy in Dundee, creating an amateur comedy scene in a city where there wasn’t one before, and was the regular compere of Glasgow’s Comedy in the Basement including the sell-out 2014 Glasgow International Comedy Festival show.
