They drove from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands – one grandparent, one grandchild, one unspoken truth.

Multi-award-winning storyteller, Yoz Mensch, weaves a darkly funny and haunting solo show about dingy hotel rooms, dog-eared maps and the strained intimacy of travel.

Drawn from hundreds of real Instagram stories posted during the trip, Yoz revisits what they shared with their grandpa – and the secrets they didn’t. 

Blending clowning, found footage and intimate confession, My Grandpa Doesn’t Follow Me On Instagram unravels what it means to hide yourself from the people you love.
