The contestants on this year's Bake Off have been doing much much worse than usual. It's almost like... sabotage? Join our crew of almost-recognisable faces as they band together to defeat the world’s greatest evil: Ratt Lucas. Using the power of friendship and a predictable parody (or two), will they succeed in the endeavour? Or will there be egg on their faces? Come and find out. Returning for another year of Fringe performances, there will be puns, buns and tonnes of funs!

About the show

MTAO Productions return to Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 with Bake Off: The Great British Pantomime, a musical comedy family show set in the world of a baking competition gone very wrong. A crew of almost-recognisable faces must band together to defeat the world's greatest evil: Ratt Lucas. Armed with the power of friendship and a predictable parody or two, the show delivers puns, buns and tonnes of funs in a 45-minute family-friendly adventure at Forest Theatre, suitable for audiences aged 3 and over.

Why see this show?

A silly, warm-hearted pantomime romp that takes the familiar format of a baking competition and gleefully runs away with it — puns included, parodies welcome, enjoyable for the whole family from age 3 upwards.
