The Room Upstairs @ Edinburgh Fringe 2024

Hi everyone!

After an amazing run at Wanstead Fringe last year we are proud to present The Room Upstairs at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024. We're fundraising to help cover the costs of the show and pay our talented creatives. We specifically need help with covering PR costs (1.5k), accommodation (1.2k), marketing costs and travel. A little goes a long way, so we're grateful for anything you can spare for art!

About the show: One ‘invisible illness’, lots of puppets, a self-deprecating actor, far too many biscuits and a sprinkle of absurdity – this can all be found in the room upstairs. But can you handle the journey up?

Tickets available here: TICKETS

This atmospheric show explores ME, an ‘invisible illness’, through the lens of a mother/daughter relationship. Based on true events, this play with original music portrays how this condition gradually penetrates every element of one’s life. It proves how sometimes laughter is not only the best medicine, but often the only one that’s available.

Baloney Theatre Company's mission is to create work that celebrates unheard voices in order to facilitate positive change and inspire politically motivated art for ill-supported communities.

Previous reviews for Baloney Theatre Company's work include:

‘Perfectly balanced drama and comedy’ – Lexical Lunacy (Same Old, Same Oldies)

‘A very exciting form of storytelling that really pays off’ – Amy Toledano (The Cat’s The Thing)

‘The best demonstration of humanity I have seen at the Fringe this year. True, raw, realistic, poetic, beautiful theatre’ – Audience (A NON-EMERGENCY)
