About Baby Wants Candy
In its 19th year at the Fringe, one of the world’s most celebrated improv shows and one of the festival’s now favourite staples returns with a brand new and as-yet unknown run of original, hilarious, and unpredictable one-off musicals.
With the audience choosing the title of the show, the masters of musical-improv, alongside their excellent full live band, sing, dance, ad-lib and more often than not laugh their way through musical extravaganzas like Forrest Trump, Jurassic Pork and Dracula Love Island.
After years of sell-out runs and critical acclaim, Baby Wants Candy (the team behind international hit sensations Thrones! The Musical, 50 Shades! and Shamilton!) has now long been a Fringe institution with fans coming back night after night (believe us, some do). Each show is a roller-coaster ride of spontaneously choreographed numbers; unscripted, unguided, unpredictable… and often uncontrollable. With well over 4000 improvised musicals already under their belt, it is no wonder that they are on the absolute top of their game.
With casts in Chicago, LA and New York and an international touring company, Baby Wants Candy has launched the careers of various top comedic actors and writers in the US; Craig Cackowski (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development), Jack McBrayer (Kenneth in 30 Rock), Vanessa Bayer and Aidy Bryant (Saturday Night Live), Thomas Middleditch (HBO’s Silicon Valley), Peter Gwinn (Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report), Chris Grace (Superstore), Amber Ruffin (Amber Ruffin Show), Chris Witaske (The Bear), John Hartman (Ghosts) and Ross Bryant (The Good Place).
With various extra shows added over multiple Fringes, sell-out shows and five-star reviews the world over, be sure to catch one (or two) of their completely original musicals this summer!
