A Grand Idea - Jarred Christmas

A Grand Idea to Make Your Mark was a competition to encourage 16-25 year olds to engage with their ideas and think about making them happen. It was about taking away the barriers and fears that prevent young people from turning their ideas into a reality.

The competition was run by Make Your Mark, the national campaign to create an enterprise culture among young people in the UK, in partnership with MTV and ran from May - July 2007. Many celebrities and successful business people supported the competition, acting as role models.

Watch this video to find out how Jarred Christmas took an hour of self-penned stand-up comedy to the Edinburgh Festival.

Hey I live in Edinburgh and I am English. It's this kinda comment that makes Scots anti-English. If you'd said about surviving the weather you might have had a point.

We have amazing restaurants of all kinds. Yes it is possible to have a deep fried mars bar (if you're into that kinda thing) but it's also possible to get Malaysian through to Mongolian cuisine, as well as fine healthy vegetarian food. There's a reason we have the biggest and best cultural festival in the world you know!
