This week I blether with the one and only Louise McCarthy. Star of stage and screen, from Mamma Mia in the West End to Still Game, Louise has carved out an incredible career to date. With innate talent and an insatiable appetite for her craft, she has not only pursued opportunities to play interesting characters but has written and produced her own work. From productions with National Theatre of Scotland and the Tron to BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad and The Scotts, Louise is a seasoned professional whose passion and creativity drives a need to keep learning and challenging herself. Radiating positivity she is a grafter who loves what she does and does what she loves.

GALLUS IN WEEGIELAND starring Louise McCarthy playing fromWednesday 19th November to Sunday 4th January 2026!
“The West End is in crisis. Our beloved Gallus has their ballet exam today and can’t remember the difference between good toes and naughty toes. Then, to make matters worse, their best pal Dinah The Cat (if a feline bezzie is good enough for Taylor it’s good enough for Gallus) has vanished. So Gallus decides to skip their dance exam and go searching for Dinah down that mysterious-looking pothole, finding themselves in a land full of mystery and wonder. Dundee. Jokes… Gallus has ended up in….
WEEGIELAND: a winter wonderland populated with strange-talking creatures, a maniacal power-hungry Queen and her son Knavey (quite possibly the hottest Harry Styles rip-off the pantosphere has ever seen).
Will Gallus ever find their beloved Dinah The Cat? Will Knavey declare his love for Gallus and live happily ever after? Or the will the evil Queen of Hearts stop true love in its tracks by demanding OFF WITH THEIR HEADS? “
