Gangland Edinburgh, 1996. Three childhood friends Spike, Joe Joe and Billy take part in a high scale robbery that goes wrong. Who can trust who and whose turn is it for Bath Time...?

Ruaraidh enjoyed huge success with his first one man show, Big Sean, Mikey and Me, at the Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012, where it enjoyed a sell-out run and five star reviews. The Gilded Balloon then co-produced a Scottish tour in February 2013 and Ruaraidh is currently adapting the stage script of the show both for radio and film, with director Paul Robinson.
