Character comedy parody show! TV host Donald McGinty brings his award-nominated* show to the Fringe! Donald is here to tell you all about his time as host of the nation's fifteenth favourite coast-based travelogue, as well as how he got over his fear of the sea after all those people drowned. There will also be live updates from the seagull appeal, the grand final of the 2025 calendar competition and a vaguely satisfying dramatic arc! 'McGinty proves an affable captain of this enjoyable pleasure cruise' (Steve Bennett, Chortle). *Best poster design, Brighton Fringe 2024.
