Sam Coade's stand-up show Jazz Ruined My Life, presented as a work in progress, is an offbeat hour of comedy built around a free jazz gig, staged at Gael & Grain in Glasgow.

Sam Coade: Jazz Ruined My Life (WIP) is a stand-up comedy show built around a free jazz gig Sam Coade attended and the discovery made there. The material is offbeat, and the performance runs for an hour of stand-up delivered by Sam Coade alone on stage, presented as a debut show and a work in progress.

Sam Coade's television and radio credits include HBO Max, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Scotland, and clips of the material have been viewed around 30 million times online. Sam Coade was a semi-finalist in British Comedian of the Year, a nominee for the Double Pleasance Reserve and runner-up for the West End New Act award. The Stand has described the act as having massive potential, and Rich Wilson has said it is among the best acts seen recently.

Gael & Grain, the Glasgow venue hosting the show, mainly stages theatre, with a programme centred on stand-up and comedy. The show suits audiences who enjoy observational and offbeat comedy in a small-scale live setting.
