Gigglemug Summer Season
Scouts! The Musical & A Jaffa Cake Musical
Multi-award winning family-friendly comedy musical makers Gigglemug Theatre are bringing back their two latest sell-out smash hit shows for Summer 2025: Scouts! The Musical, which was nominated for a WhatsOnStage Award, and A Jaffa Cake Musical, which accumulated over thirty 4 & 5 star reviews at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
Scouts! The Musical will embark on a UK tour throughout June to The Crescent Theatre in Birmingham, The Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, Upstairs at the Gatehouse in London & The Egg Theatre in Bath. While A Jaffa Cake Musical will return to the Edinburgh Fringe in August with previews in Bath (venues TBA).
The Gigglemug Summer Season will also be the nal runs of Scouts! The Musical and A
Jaffa Cake Musical, therefore this will be the last chance for people to see both productions. Scouts! The Musical, created in partnership with the Scouts, centres around
the fictional Scout Games, whereas A Jaffa Cake Musical is inspired by the 1991 tribunal
which determined the true identity of a Jaffa Cake!
As ‘Gigglemug’ means someone who is always smiling, Gigglemug Theatre want to give
their audiences a chance to do just that. Their debut show was the Fringe hit Timpson:
The Musical (sponsored by everyone’s favourite high street shop, Timpson) which won
The Stage Edinburgh Award. Their follow up show was the critically-acclaimed RuneSical,
an interactive musical based on the BAFTA-winning online game RuneScape and
supported by the game makers themselves. Both productions are available to watch for
free on YouTube and have gained tens of thousands of views!
