FAMILY SHOWS
I have performed at festivals including Greenman, Latitude, Wilderness & Camp Bestival, (as well as lots of book festivals). My shows are written for the whole family to enjoy, with lots of interaction, original music & silly jokes.
There are 4 shows listed below but if you are looking for a show tailored to your needs, I'd be happy to discuss possibilities
If you would like to book a show for your festival, theatre or library, please get in contact.
Rabunzel The Musical
Rabunzel The Musical is the story of a long eared rabbit who is locked away in a high hutch and learns how to turn her weakness into a strength. I have put the show on in various forms. At Latitude Festival, we did it with a team of performers. I turned it into a one man (one daughter) show at the Big Penny Social and Pickled Pepper Books, Crouch End. More recently, I have been taking it into schools where it works well with both KS1 & KS2 audiences.
Fairy Tale Musical Mash Up
Based on my Fairy Tales for the Fearless picture books, this is a selection of interactive songs and stories about a disco dancing gorilla (CinderGorilla), cat-walking cats (Snowy White) and a long-eared rabbit, Rabunzel. Featuring fantastic illustrations by Loretta Schauer, you’ll be invited to wave your ears in the air, strut like a cat and boogie on down. 45 minutes duration Suitable for ages 4+
Snowy White The Musical
When Snowy White arrives on Purry Tail Lane she encounters the Catwalk cats. Kinsgley is the finest cat of all and is dismayed when the Crystal Ball suggests that there is a finer cat in town.
​
This is my latest musical, which I have recently put on at Big Penny Social and am now taking to various festivals and schools around the country.
Mystery Makers
A one-man (one audience) show Mystery Makers sets the ambitious goal of creating a mystery story live on the spot. No plan. No limits. Some props. You, my audience will help the Fictional Detective write, direct and star in a brand new brilliantly-plotted whodunnit, full of twists, turns, drama, danger and herrings of every colour imaginable. Expect audience participation, an improvised soundtrack, off-the-cuff improvisation, fast rapping, laughter, a couple of admittedly awkward bits, ukulele playing, fun and a big gasp at the end when we discover whodunit.
1 hour
For ages: 6+
Everything & Anything: The Musical
Can a musical really cover everything & anything in the world? Can it do this while making you laugh, cry, clap, click & sing along? Is it possible to compose a brand new song on the spot about a member of the audience? Can a grown man fall in love with a puppet? Everything & Anything The Musical asks all these questions (and even answers some of them) in 45 minutes.
This is a brand new show written to appeal to all the family.
July 2023 at Latitude festival.
ONLINE MUSICALS
Scroll The Musical
An ongoing online musical based on tweets. There are now hundreds of songs in a variety of styles on a variety of subjects. From politics, social commentary, funny stories & lists of the word bat in other languages, most of them a child appropriate. They can be found on twitter or on youtube under the hashtag #ScrollTheMusical. Here are a few.
Movie Musicals
Recently I've been entertaining myself by turning movies into musicals. I don't own the rights to the movies but the songs are mine.
