Did You Hear What I Saw? is a 60-minute children's show at the Buttercup venue, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, performed by Tom Gk and Tom Skelton. The show tells the unique story of their lasting friendship: Tom Skelton lost his sight and Tom GK his hearing, and their amazing bond has been strengthened through shared adventures — walking miles through blizzards, running amok in city streets and being superheroes of the playground. With songs and silliness along the way, the show breaks down stereotypes and lets audiences into the sometimes funny and quirky world of having a disability. Suitable for audiences aged 3 and over.
Why see this show?
A joyful and warmly told show about friendship and disability, designed for young audiences from 3 upwards. Tom Gk and Tom Skelton bring humour, songs and their own genuine story to a show that feels both accessible and quietly important.
