About this show
It's 2013. Euan's got a camcorder, a bowl cut and a dream. Combining live performance with Euan Munro's real childhood YouTube videos, this cringe-filled comedy nostalgia trip spirals into a story of dark ambition, online predators and digital ghosts.

If you spent any time on YouTube in its early days, you may well have stumbled across Euan’s World, a modest channel where a 12 year old Euan Munro shared snippets of everyday life and uploaded homemade comedy sketches.
