Jings, Crivvens, Help Ma Boab! Scotland’s cheekiest, spiky-haired scamp Oor Wullie is back for Christmas at Dundee Rep! The only question is – where’s his bucket?!
Join Wullie, Fat Boab, Soapy Soutar, Wee Eck, and the rest of the Sunday Post gang, in a brand new musical adventure celebrating their 80th anniversary as Scotland’s most beloved comic strip.
Continuing their collaboration with Dundee Rep, and in partnership with internationally acclaimed Selladoor Worldwide, award-winning writing partnership Noisemaker are bringing the iconic character to the stage and prove that even at 80-years old he’s still Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A’body’s Wullie!
