“It’s not where you start” – a spoken word experience by Scott Kyle

Based on the award winning 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. 

The show has proven particularly effective with venues that engage with community groups, care-experienced audiences, and those interested in real-life storytelling, theatre, and film.

“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
