“Gigglemug’s first musical is an absolute hoot from start to finish” Fringe Review
The show began its life to try and answer everyone’s burning question- how did shoe repairs and key cutting come together under one roof to form the high street shop ‘Timpson’. Cochrane and Baker decided that rather than let that question go unanswered, they would write a musical about it. Flash forward over a year, this ‘zany, musical comedy’ has delighted audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and we are extremely excited to be bringing the show to the London Fringe.
