His career also spans music, with several critically acclaimed albums released, showcasing his talents as a singer, songwriter, and composer.

On recording the voice of the giant, Matt Berry said,

“I am delighted to be able to come on board and support the theatre and be the voice of the Giant. David Bown (Harrogate Theatre’s Chief Exective) was inspirational to me and super supportive when I was starting out, doing my BTEC, so I was very happy to come on board for Harrogate Theatre.”

This year’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk will be directed by Marcus Romer, who shared his excitement about working with Berry.

“It has been such a privilege to work with Matt and to bring him into the team. His unmistakable voice will be brilliant for our giant this year!”
