Tiny Tim isn’t a retelling. It’s a rebellion.

Dickens’ A Christmas Carol gave us a boy defined by pity – but now Tim refuses to stay small.

Bold, funny, and unapologetic, this reimagining tears up the tale you thought you knew. Forget sainthood and suffering – Tim wants karaoke, chips, and a piña colada.

For nearly two centuries, A Christmas Carol has been retold as a story of redemption and charity. But hidden within is Tiny Tim – a disabled child too often reduced to a symbol of pity and inspiration.

That’s the problem. Disabled characters are frequently written as lessons, used as a tool to comfort audiences. Enter Uncurbed Collective – with a new Tim, who refuses to be “Tiny”.

Bold, funny, and unapologetic, Tiny Tim –  written by James Varney with the Uncurbed Collective Ensemble – challenges tradition and dares to change the narrative.

Uncurbed Collective is a disabled-led company making bold, unapologetic work that challenges “the accepted” and redefines what theatre can be.
