It’s Not Where You Start

Based on the award-winning bestselling memoir of the same name, the It’s Not Where You Start live show is a powerful, uplifting, and deeply personal storytelling experience that blends theatre, autobiography, and live performance with projected animation and film.

It tells the extraordinary true story of award-winning actor Scott Kyle’s journey from foster care to foster carer, from Glasgow’s back streets to award-winning stages and Hollywood film sets — including the rise, fall, and return of Singin’ I’m No a Billy, He’s a Tim, and the moment Scott almost turned down the chance to work with Harrison Ford.

At its heart, It’s Not Where You Start explores resilience, identity, second chances, and the courage it takes to begin again — all delivered with warmth, humour, and emotional honesty.

★★★★★  – “If it’s only one memoir of second chances you read/see/listen to this year, I highly recommend It’s Not Where You Start.” –  Louise Cannon – Bookmarks and Stages

★★★★★ – “An amazing story and well worth your time, superb animations.” – Nicola McCartney, award-winning playwright & director

★★★★★ – “A really well-told TED Talk with beautiful animations… such an engaging, humble, and honest performer.” — Cora Bissett
