SINGIN' I'M NO A BILLY, HE'S A TIM - 20TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR
- Comedy
- Drama
A play exploring bigotry and ethnic identity, “Singin' I'm No A Billy, He's A Tim” is a phenomenon in Scotland where it has sold out countless nationwide tours, a sensation at the Edinburgh Festival and now touring Internationally.
Written by Des Dillon and Directed by Stephen Cafferty. With Scott Kyle (Outlander, Angels Share, Kajaki and Winner of Stage Award for Acting Excellence), Colin Little (River City, Fried, Gasping, The Secret Agent) and James Miller.
Israeli vs Palestinian, Catholic vs Protestant, Celtic vs Rangers... When tribal factions clash can reason ever prevail?
What happens when on the day of the Old Firm Match, you lock up a Celtic and Rangers fan in a cell together?
Fireworks!
And a weird kind of unity.
Consistently funny yet highly authentic
the play functions as a broader allegory, addressing bigotry-motivated hate across multiple communities. It extends beyond the immediate conflict, including references to the UK immigration crisis and tensions in Palestine, making it a powerful commentary on the universal nature of prejudice and division
This is as powerful a piece of comedy as any else at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival
