‘I've just said in 5 seconds what it took Black Mirror 8 years to say’

When it comes to the rise of technology, should we be listening to our stand-up comedians?

“The digital world has brought with it a certain existential malaise that didn’t exist before, that only exacerbates work-related anxieties,” according to comedian Stuart MacPherson.

“What does that mean? It means I’m stressed out ma nut and it’s probably down to technology.”

"I've just said in five seconds what it took Black Mirror eight years to say."

The Stand-up comedian on how the rise in technology will make him unemployable.

Stuart's wry observation is from The State of It, a brand new series from the comedy minds behind Still Game and Scot Squad.

Each week, Burnistoun's Robert Florence and a host of new comic talent will rip into the state of today’s Scotland and the world at large.

Technology, the environment, identity and democracy are just some of the topics the team will tackle during the series as they attempt not only to make us laugh, but make us think, too.
