Up Down BIG Man

A witty and heartfelt theatre show inspired by Nathan Bessell’s life, following Matty as he faces a new chapter and searches for independence and support.

Up Down BIG Man is the third standalone show in a trilogy inspired by the life of performer Nathan Bessell. Matty is forty and leaving home for the final time; with his mother gone and his dad moving on, he must find the best support and a way to be independent and safe.

The production blends wit, anarchy and heart, with Nathan Bessell returning to play Matty.
