Blowfish Theatre make satirical musicals about contemporary politics
Blowfish can be seen in theatres around the UK throughout the year and at the Edinburgh Fringe. Our shows combine popular humour, fantastic original music and satirical bite.  

Founded in 2016, our first show, Boris the Musical, was a response to the EU referendum and Johnson’s role in Vote Leave. Rehearsed and performed over that hot strange summer, the show caught the mood of the times and we haven’t stopped since.

​
Blowfish make high-quality and highly-entertaining theatre for all. As a satirical company, we are both silly and sincere, irreverent and engaged. We are based in Sheffield, but company members range from Scotland to the south coast.


Our shows have been featured on Sky News, ITV, BBC World Service, and in UK and European media. Take a look here.

Our upcoming show, Boris the Musical 3: The Johnson Supremacy, has been postponed until Autumn 2021 due to the pandemic. It’s been a frustrating time but we can’t wait to get back to it. There is, after all, no shortage of material!
