It’s Not Where You Start is a spoken word experience by Scott Kyle. The performance takes place at The Pavilion Theatre Glasgow. The story focuses on resilience and compassion, drawing from Kyle's experiences in foster care.
Having spent time in foster care as a child — and years later becoming a foster carer himself — Scott’s story is one of resilience, compassion, and full-circle transformation. Twenty years ago, he discovered the play Billy & Tim in his local library. From there, he built it into the biggest show in Scotland, before losing the rights. Now, after finally regaining them, he’s back producing the show once again — bigger and better than ever. Alongside this remarkable journey, Scott recalls how he (unknowingly) almost turned down the chance to work with Hollywood icon Harrison Ford, a reminder that life-changing opportunities can appear when you least expect them. Blending heartfelt storytelling with award-winning animations, It’s Not Where You Start is both intimate and visually striking. It’s a tribute to memory, belonging, and the power of second chances — and a reminder that our beginnings don’t define our endings. Awards: 2× Best Animation Awards 2× Best Voice Over Awards (West Lothian Film Festival, 2024 & 2025) Praise for the show: “A really well-told TED Talk with beautiful animations… such an engaging, humble and honest performer.” — Cora Bissett “An amazing story and well worth your time… superb animations.” — Nicola McCartney
