Kevin Brannigan has created a character, Big Angie, who will be up there with Rab C Nesbitt as Scotland’s most famous working-class character. Just ask Rab’s creator Ian Pattison.
He’s mentoring Kevin, who was having conversations with BBC Scotland about Big Angie before the Covid pandemic hit.
The channel gave us a taster of what’s to come on their Short Stuff online strand. Beauty and the Beef – which starred Kevin as Angie and Garry Sweeney as snack van lothario Beef – was uploaded in March and has become one of its most watched sketches racking up over 500,000 views and counting.
