Lighting Designer – Greatest Hits – Tyne Theatre and Opera House – 2025

I started working with Carl during the pandemic for his ‘Live Stream’ shows in Newcastle. A small, work-safe bubble was created for the times we were allowed to mix for work at a social distance, consisting of a small crew and a comedian.

From there, I have had the privilege to work on his last two digital specials and, most recently, his ‘Greatest Hits’ show, back on home turf in Newcastle. Carl is clear about his vision for the stage appearance, and with a few prompts, I can create a design that perfectly matches his high-energy style.
