About Tiny Tim
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.

About Tiny Tim
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 (The Writing Squad) with the Uncurbed Collective Ensemble - challenges tradition and dares to change the narrative.
About Uncurbed Collective
Uncurbed Collective is a disabled-led company making bold, unapologetic work that challenges "the accepted" and redefines what theatre can be.
