The live set list from the show.
Introducing songs from the new musical Fat Boy Swim! Join us for a 90’s inspired, soul-stirring live gig as Visible Fictions presents the rousing soundtrack from Scotland’s next hit musical.
Adapted from Cathy Forde’s acclaimed and celebrated novel, Fat Boy Swim finds Jimmy at a turning point in his life, struggling with his weight, school bullies, and relationships at home. The original soundtrack is both contemporary and nostalgic, with anthems that you’ll be singing for years to come. Think indie folk meets memorable melodies. Be the first to hear the set list from the musical of this relevant, vital and timely coming of age tale which will delight audiences across the country.
Book and Lyrics by Cathy Forde
Music and Additional Lyrics by Michael John McCarthy
Directed by Dougie Irvine
