Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies worldwide, this pacy, moving and hilarious show is selling out theatres up and down the land as it takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland. The shipping forecast will never sound the same again.

A fast-paced and quick-witted one-person show exploring the impact of language, identity and their intersections in Scotland.

So come join me in a show where I’ll give you a first hand insight from my delusional eyes to what goes on in my ever expanding mind with stories of how I’ve manage to survive through a life of total confinement  to how and why I now prefer to be alone, mostly!

Hop on your magic carpet and take off on a laugh-packed adventure with this Aladdin pantomime. It’s a genie-us family pantomime that’s bursting with songs, silliness, and sparkle! Join our cheeky hero Aladdin as he battles the villainous Abanazar, finds a mysterious old lamp, and tries to win the heart of Princess Jasmine.

Chewin' the fat star Karen Dunbar is back with her brand new 2025 Scottish tour.

This show looks at all the “stuff” we accumulate, hoard and hate to let go.
