28 years on the road. 36,000 miles on foot. The deadly Darién Gap. The frozen Bering Strait. A swim across the Caspian Sea. One man. One extraordinary mission. A journey that refuses to be stopped.

In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby set out from Punta Arenas, Chile, with an almost unimaginable ambition: to walk all the way home to Hull, England. He made himself two promises that would define his life: no transport to advance his journey, and no going home until he could complete the entire journey on foot.

Nearly three decades later, Karl’s extraordinary expedition has become one of the most remarkable feats of human endurance ever attempted. He has crossed some of the world’s most hostile landscapes, faced life-threatening dangers, endured immense physical and psychological challenges, and pushed himself to limits few could comprehend. From the perilous Darién Gap to the frozen crossing between Russia and Alaska, his journey is an incredible testament to courage, resilience and the indomitable human spirit.

Now, for the first time ever, Karl Bushby brings his extraordinary story to UK theatres for a limited number of selected dates.

An extraordinary true story. Told by the man who lived it.

In Karl Bushby: The Man Who Walked the World, audiences are invited to step inside an adventure spanning continents, cultures and generations. Through gripping first-hand storytelling, Karl reveals the experiences behind the headlines: the moments when survival hung in the balance, the obstacles that threatened to end his mission, the sacrifices made along the way, and the extraordinary determination that has kept him moving towards home.

Expect a remarkable evening of adventure, danger, discovery and inspiration as Karl shares what it really takes to keep going when the odds are stacked against you. This is the story of a man who dared to attempt the impossible and has spent almost 30 years proving just how far determination can take you.

More than a story about walking, this is a story about keeping a promise, confronting the unknown and discovering what the human body and mind can endure. It is also a uniquely British story of grit, ambition and perseverance, celebrating the spirit of adventure that refuses to accept defeat.

Karl’s extraordinary achievement has captured the imagination of the public and attracted significant media interest. Yet behind the astonishing distances and headline-grabbing challenges lies a deeply human story: one of personal sacrifice, unwavering belief and a simple promise to keep moving until home is finally reached.
