‘A Little Man’s Holiday’ takes the audience on a magical journey from the Little Man’s dull city dwellings to the high seas on a swashbuckling adventure for all the family. With PaddleBoat’s distinctive audience interaction, audience will be fully immersed as Little Man battles jellyfish, pirates and sharks on his voyage across freezing waters.

Even the smallest of objects on stage can tell a story, as we narrate Little Man’s epic trip from his office to deserted tropical islands. Through the use of puppetry, music and mime, we present larger-than-life characters and invite you into an enchanted world.


Originally produced Doorstep Arts and funded by Battersea Arts Centre as a scratch performance in May 2014, PaddleBoat have developed the show from feedback and input from both school children and local artists. PaddleBoat are delighted at this opportunity to perform ‘A Little Man’s Holiday’ at the From Devon with Love festival.
