Jim Tavaré

Jim starred as Tom the innkeeper in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban but his own story is every bit as riveting as anything by JK Rowling. In 2017 he was in a head-on car crash near his home in Los Angeles. He was lucky to live to tell the tale. Returning to the Fringe for the first time in 20 years, Deadpan To Bedpan tells the story of how a quick trip to the shops changed his life. It’s a heart-warming and seriously funny tale of survival against the odds – massive medical bills, a dog called Mr Kippy and a DIY disaster. This man is drier than Bond’s martini. Jim Tavaré: From Deadpan To Bedpan. Laughing Horse @ The Counting House. 4.15pm. Aug 2-12, 14, 26. Suitable for 14+
