Ayrshire’s favourite Pantomime Dame, Fraser Boyle prepares to flash his life before your eyes as he embarks on his first solo show after his run-in with the big C.

As a child Fraser Boyle used to touch an electric cattle fence for fun.

A few months ago he (almost simultaneously) turned 40 and lost a testicle.

What has this fence toucher learned from his most recent shock?

He’s learned when to pick up his last remaining ball and run hame!

As Fraser traumatically turned 40 he faced a midlife crisis.

Who was he? Where was he going? He'd taken his eye off the ball.

Not too long after the big 4-0, a Doctor phoned to say he had testicular cancer. Now, as gifts from the universe go - he's had better.  I mean, he felt quite attached to it. Literally.


Luckily for Fraser, the Doctor moved swiftly and he still finds himself 40 not lacking, but rather having gained. A new perspective. A new appreciation of his many blessings. A new understanding of what's important and what's not.

Join Fraser as he navigates life’s curveballs with love, laughter and gratitude as he pledges to, no matter what lies ahead – grab the rest of his life by the ball!

Fraser Boyle lets it all hang out in his first ever solo show - a hilarious and uplifting look at this ever-changing thing we call life.

For actor Fraser Boyle this project holds special meaning: "As a Brand Ambassador for Ayrshire Cancer Support, I’m delighted to be supporting them through my show to raise vital funds so that no one faces cancer alone. Each ticket sold, includes a donation to Ayrshire Cancer Support which will help them continue to deliver the services that offer a genuine lifeline in people’s time of need”
