Going Coastal with Donald McGinty

The Totally Improvised Company • Professional company

60 minutes•Nineties
TV Presenter Donald McGinty sets sail with his award-nominated show (Best Poster Design, Brighton Fringe 2024). He'll share his TV mishaps and how he got over his fear of the sea after all those people drowned. There's an earnest bit about the environment, a vaguely satisfying dramatic arc and a very niche reference to the TV show Neighbours. With jokes about the seaside, seagulls and c-list celebrities, it's a light-hearted, light entertainment show that's surprisingly dark for its time slot. 'McGinty proves an affable captain of this enjoyable pleasure cruise' (Chortle.co.uk).
