My Dog's Got No Nose

You join the man as he prepares backstage for his first ever stand-up comedy gig. Something he has waited over 30 years for. Find out how he got to this point in his life……but be warned……the man and the performance are not quite what they seem!

“My Dog’s Got No Nose, written by Ron Aldridge, was a real and powerful drama….and one of the most powerful depictions of emotion that I have seen from an actor. Giles Shenton’s performance is so powerful that I came out of the hall emotionally drained. He has been performing this play for six years now as part of his repertoire, and it surely must be one of the toughest to get through. A remarkable performance and one that demonstrated the range and versatility of actor Giles Shenton." Dorchester on Thames Review

“Giles Shenton held his audience’s attention for nearly two hours; their interest or curiosity in the first half and then to have them fully engrossed in the second before a shocked silence when you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium.” Alton Herald

“Being billed as a comedy, and the title it has, understates what is a wonderful piece of theatre.....but this one-man performance, brilliantly put over by Giles Shenton, is so much more than that as it all evolves in the second half.....The audience was privileged to be entertained, and have its emotions thoroughly massaged, by such a thought provoking and high quality production.” Beccles & Bungay Journal

“Giles Shenton gifts us with another tour de force...catch it while you can!” Surrey Advertiser

"Saw My Dog’s Got No Nose yesterday at the Stables Theatre, Great Comp. Can't tell you what an impression Giles Shenton had on my husband and myself. From thinking we had a not very good stand up, to one of the best acted and produced shows we have seen in a long time is an understatement. Please thank Giles on our behalf. He was brilliant and we look forward to seeing him in more shows." Audience feedback
