A captivating tale of sibling rivalry in post-Troubles Northern Ireland. With gut-punch gags and emotional blows, Caroline reckons with her lifelong battle with her younger brother, who loves trains, buses and getting his way.

Funny, joyful, and deeply personal, this is a story about coming to terms with a messy past and complicated future, one where Caroline might have to balance caring for her adult brother with her own desires. Expect sibling spats, visits to the London Transport Museum and a whole lotta Disney as Caroline explores family, love, and full-time care.

‘The Northern Irish comic does not shy away from topics such as The Troubles or making fun of the English. She is a fantastic storyteller’ Entertainment Now ★★★★

‘Deeply funny’ A Young(ish) Perspective ★★★★

‘She’s a star’ Alison Spittle
