Cousin Jack's and PK Porthcurno present
The Fake News Navigator
Our new show toured to Cornish primary schools in April and May 2026 - and we're thinking about getting Bobo out on the road again...
The Fake News Navigator is Cousin Jack's exciting new production exploring how children and young people can navigate disinformation in the digital age. Produced in partnership with PK Porthcurno – Museum of Global Communications as part of an Ofcom commission, the show will bring author-illustrator Caroline Pedler gorgeous character Bobo – from her beloved picture book ‘The Accidental Gardener’ – to the stage for the very first time.
We're thrilled that PK Porthcurno chose to work with us on the young-person-focused performance element of this important project, and deeply grateful to Caroline for entrusting us with her warm, hopeful character.
This show includes Makaton signing, supported by a Makaton Tutor from Arthur’s Club.
