A Silly Storytelling Show aimed at the brave over 7’s. Developed with the support of Wonder Arts and touring in Winter 2024 with Rural Arts Wiltshire via Pound Arts Corsham. Following on the tradition of the spooky story, this is a young person targeted set of silly stories and shaggy dogs tales, told in a bombastic and interactive way by storyteller, Gav Cross. Designed for atmospheric small theatre spaces, this is a bare bones performance that can be adapted for indoors and outdoors. Don’t worry, no ghosts were harmed in the development of this show. A perfect daytime companion to “After Supper Ghost Stories”, my literary ghost story show for ‘grown ups.’

Gav Cross is a Storyteller and a very silly person. They are very aware that it is the best job in the world! Telling stories at Festivals, Theatres, Libraries, Parks, Zoos, Art Galleries, Schools, Community Spaces, Museums, Pubs and anywhere that wants one. Easy to see and hear from a great distance, they describe themselves as a bit of a ‘turn’. Touring their own Storytelling shows, including the “Twisted Tales for Terrible Children…” and the Leicester Comedy Festival Nominated for Best Kids Show “Tell Tale Twit…” More recently Gav has been titled Story Master at the epic Bradford Literature Festival, where he was privileged to host the countries largest World Book Day event. His latest show is for ‘Grown-Ups’. (Adult doesn’t sound quite right either.) “After Supper Ghost Stories” by Jerome K Jerome is a 4 star reviewed, robust reading of satirical Victorian Ghost stories… Gav loves stories that make their audience laugh or even a little tense. Theses are a particular favourite. No matter what the age the audience might be. “Gav Cross treats children like they’re horrible and adults like they’re children and the results are hilarious and magical.” Larmer Tree Festival “A Master Storyteller” Pound Arts, Wiltshire https://linktr.ee/gavcross
