Kev Campbell Was He

A comedic one-person show about a journey of self-discovery from a chance nightclub toilet encounter.

In a nightclub toilet in the heart of Glasgow,  a failed graffiti attempt goes wrong and eighteen-year-old Weegie, Kev, ends up meeting and befriending a stranger…a posh young guy of all people.

An unlikely friendship evolves as the boys discover mutual ground. Bonded by The Great Gatsby, Freddie Mercury, and a love of storytelling this mismatched duo weave a coming-of-age story of self-discovery.

Kev Campbell Was He is a hilarious and moving one-person show that explores masculinity in modern Scotland. It was a finalist of the David MacLennan Award 2024 and received rave reviews at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Co-presented with Ayr Gaiety and Traverse Theatre.
