Jamie MacDonald is a Glaswegian stand-up comedian who lives with his blindness, despite those around him sometimes losing sight of what’s important in life.

Jamie examines pre-conceptions about disability, challenges stereotypes, and takes a hilarious trip down memory lane to see how far things have come.

In this episode Jamie confronts stereotypes head on, from his disability to his national identity. He realises that he's in a position of privilege, and has been deemed a role model by others - and it's not a position he relishes.
