Fraser Boyle presents HIS LIFE FLASHED BEFORE YOUR EYES
The panto star opens his first solo show
Ayrshire’s favourite Pantomime Dame, Fraser Boyle prepares to flash his life before your eyes as he embarks on his first solo show after his run-in with the big C.
As a child Fraser Boyle used to touch an electric cattle fence for fun.
A few months ago he (almost simultaneously) turned 40 and lost a testicle.
What has this fence toucher learned from his most recent shock?
He’s learned when to pick up his last remaining ball and run hame!
As Fraser traumatically turned 40 he faced a midlife crisis.
Who was he? Where was he going? He'd taken his eye off the ball.
Not too long after the big 4-0, a Doctor phoned to say he had testicular cancer. Now, as gifts from the universe go - he's had better. I mean, he felt quite attached to it. Literally.
Luckily for Fraser, the Doctor moved swiftly and he still finds himself 40 not lacking, but rather having gained. A new perspective. A new appreciation of his many blessings. A new understanding of what's important and what's not.
Join Fraser as he navigates life’s curveballs with love, laughter and gratitude as he pledges to, no matter what lies ahead – grab the rest of his life by the ball!
Fraser Boyle lets it all hang out in his first ever solo show - a hilarious and uplifting look at this ever-changing thing we call life.
