Why I Created Like Kells Said

Like Kells Said is a one-woman show brought to you by charismatic performer and writer Caz Mason. Inspired by true events and lived experience, this is a raw, funny, and fearless look at survival, grief, and the chaotic beauty of life in Leith. Caz brings her unique comic outlook to the stage, creating a beautifully portrayed Kelly—sharp, vulnerable, and unforgettable.

This story had to be told. I’ve lived through some of these moments, and I’ve seen first-hand how humour can carry us through the darkest times. That’s why Like Kells Said isn’t just a thriller—it’s a human story, laced with wit, heart and brutal honesty. It’s about the women who get back up. The women who laugh in the face of disaster. The women you don’t often see on stage—but should.
