Ferguson eulogised his father Robert on an episode of The Late Late Show in January 2006. Following the death of his mother Janet (3 August 1933 – 1 December 2008), he spoke of her on-air, ending the programme by playing her favourite song: “Rivers of Babylon” by Boney M.
Ferguson has married three times and divorced twice. His first marriage was to Anne Hogarth from 1983 to 1986, during which time they lived in New York. His second marriage was to Sascha Corwin (founder and proprietor of Los Angeles’ SpySchool), with whom he has one son, born in 2001. He and Corwin shared custody of their son, and live near each other in the Hollywood Hills. In 2008, Ferguson married art dealer Megan Wallace-Cunningham in a private ceremony on her family’s farm in Chester, Vermont. They have a son together, who was born in 2011.
After a nerve-wracking first appearance, he decided to create a character that he described as a “parody of all the über-patriotic native folk singers who seemed to infect every public performance in Scotland”. The character was named “Bing Hitler” by Capaldi. Ferguson first performed as the character in Glasgow, and he later became a hit at the 1986 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. However, by the end of the year, Ferguson was already discussing his intention to retire Bing. At the press launch for an alternative pantomime of Sleeping Beauty (which he had co-written with Capaldi), he said “you can’t write for just one character forever”. A recording of his stage act as Bing Hitler was made at Glasgow’s Tron Theatre and released in the 1980s; a Bing Hitler monologue (“A Lecture for Burns Night”) appears on the compilation cassette Honey at the Core.
