Calum Lykan Storytelling
Storyteller, Emcee
Entertainer for One and All
Weaver of Dreams, Slayer of Boredom...
"I love to tell stories, it's my passion and my world. And what I love most is a challenge. Give me a theme, a concept, an emotion and then I will give you a story"
Storyteller, Master of Ceremonies, Voice Artist, Public Speaker and Tour Guide. Internationally renowned Storyteller Calum Lykan is the complete package for any event.
Born and raised in Ayrshire, I was surrounded by the stories of that rich and beautiful area. Yet storytelling was not a path I had ever thought to follow, Butcher, Banker, Business Development Manager and Regional Manager were the routes traveled. Hiding behind desks and piles of paperwork with not a thought for being in the limelight.
​
And if you were to ask me what changed, true to form for a Teller of Tales I will regale you with a story of overcoming Stage Fright, Heart Ache and the sacrifices made on my journey to becoming a Storyteller. And what a journey it was, from Management meetings to serving an Apprenticeship in Storytelling at Edinburgh's Scottish Storytelling Centre.
​
My adventures as an entertainer allowed me to travel and meet the most amazing people. And these days I can be found in the bonnie province of New Brunswick, Canada. A long way from my humble start in Burns Country.
​
As a professional Storyteller, I can provide you with a unique and wonderful performance experience. My traditional background makes me well suited to provide skills for entertainment, education, personal development, or to inspire staff and help create a corporate story within the business environment.
​
Storytelling is ancient and versatile and can add that piece of flair to any event; dinners, festivals (re-enactment or otherwise), receptions, school visits, museums, corporate outings, and much more.
“Loud, brash and crashing through Edinburgh as a Storyteller for years, Calum Lykan is as Big as a bear and subtle as a kilt full of badgers,Grisly, scary, fanciful, engaging and oftimes heroic, his stories are peppered with wee lessons.”​
