We are gagglebabble.

We like to entertain.

Our shows are for everyone.

We are inspired by everything from local myths or historical characters, to Hitchcock thrillers or Dahl’s twisted tales.

Music is at the heart of the work we make and we always include an original score played by professional musicians.

We can be found in Church halls, music festivals, your local pub or a hotel on the top of cliffs as well as more traditional theatre spaces.

Our work is immersive, fun and always served up with a dose of black humour.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do and we work with a wide pool of like minded individuals from actors, directors, designers, musicians, to animators and filmmakers.

We embrace inclusivity.

We focus on female narratives.
