About Gerry Carroll
Gerry Carroll brings his favourite Charles Dickens story to the Edinburgh Fringe — in August. This solo show is a lively retelling of the classic tale, complete with singing, dancing and ghosts. Gerry first read the book when he was 10, making this show a long time coming. Now 72, he brings this festive story to Just the Attic with warmth and enthusiasm, four months ahead of its usual season. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and tickets are £8.
Why see this show?
A joyful piece of Fringe cheek — a full Christmas show performed in August, performed by someone who has clearly waited a long time to tell this story. Genuine warmth and a Dickens classic make for an unexpectedly charming summer outing.
