Baloney Theatre Company
Making change one absurd play at a time
About
We strive to make work that tackles difficult and sometimes sensitive subject matter through the form of absurd comedy. Our mission is to create work that celebrates unheard voices in order to facilitate positive change and inspire political art for ill-supported communities. We work to make uncomfortable subjects accessible as a means of sparking conversations. With influences from Samuel Beckett to Fawlty Towers, Baloney Theatre Company will always offer you a ridiculous time.

Marissa Landy
Director and writer
Marissa Landy is a writer, composer, director and actor who writes to make change. She started her writing career at Queen Mary University and after completing her Masters at Mountview she went on to develop Baloney Theatre Company.

Credits include: 'Same Old, Same Oldies' (director and writer), 'The Cat's the Thing' (performer and writer), 'Manic Monologues' (composer), 'Publico' (actor), 'Twelfth Night' tour (actor), 'A NON-EMERGENCY' (performer and writer), 'The Room Upstairs' (composer and director) and 'Woodrow Auditions Live' (writer and performer).
The Project People
Producers
The Project People have a combined 17 years experience Creative Producing. Everything from theatre, cabaret, workshops, festivals, and events - you name it, they’ve produced it. On their journey they realised how vital a Producer is on all the projects they’ve worked on, including their own, as they both started life as self-producing artists and they continue to make their own work.

Reviews
The best demonstration of humanity that I have seen at the Fringe this year. True, raw, realistic, poetic, beautiful theatre.
Edinburgh Fringe Audience Review Best show we have seen. Please go. Original. Heart warming and real. Needs to go on nationwide tour as needs to be seen.
Edinburgh Fringe Audience Review I'm a paramedic and have been for 7 years and nothing ever gets to me, I'm never emotional over a job. BUT, the story with Nina had me crying out of nowhere! I think it reminded me strongly of a job I've been to, but never thought about since, and seeing it from an outsiders perspective brought all kinds of emotions I didn't know I was bottling up. Thank you.
