Have a laugh! Gerry Carroll - Light brings you a delightful, true and entertaining personal story about being a 71 year old human. And clown. Gerry is 71 and hes made a show of himself. Its about being young and being old. He uses story-telling, clown, song and dance to create a unique hour of fun.Born in Dublin, Gerry moved to Bournemouth in 1986, taking a job in a local council office. In 2013, having retired, he moved to London to train in improv, stand-up and theatrical clown. He acted with and was trained by the Old Vic Community Company, 2014 " 2017. Hes already made five Fringe shows, and this one is his most personal. Gerry is lucky to be an energetic 71-year-old who mashes up clown, stand-up and internal auditing in a wonderful way to entertain audiences of all ages. Light has been in development since November 2023. This is Gerrys most personal show yet as he uses his charmingly defiant style (Chortle, 2021) to bring you an hour of laughter.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
