Milk on the Side: a Barista Musical is a 60-minute interactive comedy musical by Short and Sweet Theatre, playing at The Speakeasy as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Baristas Amy and Callum serve coffee, songs and laughs to their audience-as-customers while asking whether this is really low-skilled labour — and somehow weaving in Harry Styles and smashed avocado. The show is interactive and invites the audience in from the start. Tickets are £11, with a concession of £9. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A comedy musical that puts you in the café and makes you part of the action — light on its feet, bespoke and full of laughs. The premise is playful, the songs are inventive, and it leaves you with something to chew on over a coffee afterwards.
