Attention All Shipping

A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast

As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.

How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire?

Inspired by Charlie’s quarter-of-a-million-selling, this pacy, moving and hilarious show ensures the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.

“Charlie is always warm, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter - and I've never done that to anyone in my life before.”  Bernard Sumner, New Order
