Scottish comedian and actress Karen Dunbar has turned her hand to something rather unexpected – teaching people to rap! In doing so, she has discovered how spoken word can empower people to tell their own stories, regardless of who they are or where they are from.

Karen Dunbar’s School of Rap sees the comic embark on a unique musical mission to help a group of five elderly women from north Glasgow unearth their inner rap star. Over four workshop sessions, Karen joins forces with Maggie, Susan, Wilma, Betty and Jean, inspiring them to write a song based on their own life experiences. Working alongside Amy Rew from the Glasgow Girls Club, Karen’s musical challenge culminates in a concert at a local community centre, where the ladies are invited to showcase their newfound skills to a live audience – but will they rise to the challenge and take to the stage?
