A Gambler's Guide To Dying Theatre & Performing Arts


The story of one boy’s granddad who won a fortune betting on the 1966 football World Cup and, when diagnosed with cancer, gambled it all on

Winner - The Scotsman Fringe First Award 2015

What are the odds of living an extraordinary life?
This is the story of one boy’s granddad who won a fortune betting on the 1966 football World Cup and, when diagnosed with cancer, gambled it all on living to see the year 2000. An intergenerational tale of what we live for and what we leave behind.

Written and performed by Gary McNair. Directed by Gareth Nicholls.

This funny and heartwarming multi-award winning show had a sell-out season at Traverse Theatre during Edinburgh Festival 2015, as well as sell-out runs in Australia and the United States, and was featured on BBC2's Culture Show.

"Gary McNair shines in this beautifully written, deceptively simple, warmly comic piece that accumulates layers of meaning through the act of storytelling itself. Rich and earthily funny – a genuine pleasure" ★★★★ The Guardian

"An amusing and affecting monologue… one of the hits of the Edinburgh Fringe" ★★★★ The Times

"McNair is a truly impressive performer, charismatic, relaxed and fascinating to watch" ★★★★ The Scotsman
