About Keith White

Ego Show is a solo musical written and performed by Keith White at Thistle Theatre, running 50 minutes. The show follows an actor attempting egolessness while performing a show he has written himself — a paradox at its heart. Ego leads a person on an endless chase to attain something outside themselves, and this new solo musical asks whether the show would even exist without an ego. Music supervision is by Nicholas J Connell and direction by Ryan Dobrin, produced by Longthorne Entertainment.

Why see this show?

A solo musical that wrestles with ego, ambition and self-contradiction in an intimate setting. Thought-provoking and funny, with a central paradox that gives the whole show its dramatic charge.
