TV host Donald McGinty is live on stage with his award-nominated* show! Donald is here to tell you all about his time as host of the nations fifteenth favourite coast based travelogue, as well as how he got over his fear of the sea after all those people drowned. There will also be live updates from the seagull appeal, the grand final of the 2025 calender competition and a vaguely satisfying dramatic arc! If that’s not enough for you, there will also be plenty of surprises, prizes** and Scottish accents***!

Get ready to set sail and answer the call of nature with Donald McGinty. But remember, as the old McGinty family saying goes, "whin adventure beckons, be daein' yer business afore ye leave th' hoose."

A ridiculous character comedy show from Sean Mason (ComedySportz, The Totally Improvised Musical) parodying a show that hasn’t been on TV in fifteen years.

“McGinty proves an affable captain of this enjoyable pleasure cruise.” Steve Bennett, Chortle

“I went to this show and I haven’t drowned since.” Life’s A Beach Magazine

“Too many seagulls.” Seagulls Monthly

*Best Poster Design, Brighton Fringe 2024
**Quality of prizes not guaranteed
***Quality of accents not guaranteed either

Written and performed by Sean Mason from the award-winning Totally Improvised Company (Winners - Best Alternative Act 2023 - North West Comedy Awards, Nominated - Best Variety Show - Leicester Comedy Festival 2024, Nominated - Best Kids Show - Leicester Comedy Festival 2025).

CONTENT WARNING: There are several references to drowning, disgraced TV celebrities (you know the ones) and one swear word - but it is the worst one.
