A superb cast brings the story to life, including Martin Quinn as Oor Wullie.

He is no stranger to the Granite City with one of his earliest roles being in 2012’s Lemon Tree Christmas show It Wasn't Me It Was Goldilocks where he played Baby Bear.

Since then he has added many roles to his CV including Peter Gynt at The National Theatre, Passing Places at Dundee Rep/Citizens Theatre, and Limmy’s Show!

While audiences are full of praise for Martin, he is himself full of praise for the show saying: “If Oor Wullie was going to be put on stage, I think this was the way to do it.”

The brilliant ensemble cast includes Ann Louise Ross as PC Murdoch, Dan Buckley and Grant McIntyre as Fat Boab and Wee Eck, Leanne Traynor as town bully Basher Mackenzie and Irene Macdougall, Bailey Newsome, Leah Byrne, George Drennan, and Eklovey Kashyap complete this fantastic ensemble.

The show opened over the Festive period in Dundee where it received rave reviews.
