Attention All Shipping A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast

As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, Charlie Connellys hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age.

How did a weather forecast for mariners capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for rain later to be good? And where the hell is North Utsire?

Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what all those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement.

Inspired by Charlies bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies, this pacy, moving and hilarious show is selling out theatres up and down the land as it takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland. Attention All Shipping guarantees the shipping forecast will never sound the same again.
