It's Not Where You Start

From foster child to foster carer, high-school dropout to university graduate, and Glasgow’s back streets to Hollywood sets — Scott Kyle’s journey is anything but ordinary.

It’s Not Where You Start is a raw, heartfelt story about resilience, second chances, and refusing to let your beginnings define your future. Award-winning actor and producer Scott Kyle (Outlander, Kajaki, The Angels’ Share, Billy & Tim) takes audiences through the twists, setbacks, and unexpected opportunities that shaped his life — including the full-circle return of Billy & Tim and a near-miss with working alongside Harrison Ford.

Blending intimate storytelling with striking animations, this powerful new show reminds us that the most unlikely lives can make the most unforgettable stories.
