Charlie Connelly's hilarious one-man show brings the legendary shipping forecast vividly to life

About

Charlie Connelly's hilarious one-man show brings the legendary shipping forecast vividly to life.

As the solemn, rhythmic intonation of the shipping forecast embarks on its second century after turning 100 years old in 2024, bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative one-man show brings the legendary broadcast vividly to life as never before.

How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dogs to insomniac landlubbers? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?

Charlie will present his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement and share rip-roaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas. For example, the time he was accused by the media of trying to annex Rockall from the British government and sang sea shanties with Tom Hardy in a Manx hotel bar while Scary Spice pulled the pints.

Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies, this pacy, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to south-east Iceland via Hebrides, Fastnet and German Bight to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again!

* This performance will take place in the Dry Berth under Cutty Sark’s magnificent hull.
