A Giggle With The Gaggle
Balancing Act Theatre • Professional company
About the show
Balancing Act Theatre presents A Giggle With The Gaggle, a touching new play exploring grief, queer joy and chosen family. Over the course of one year after Daniel's tragic death at Brighton Pride, three friends — Brian, Craig and James — each navigate loss in their own way: through a secret affair, a mid-twenties crisis and imagining conversations with Daniel. Honest, heartfelt and hilarious, it acts as a love letter to Pride and the queer community.
Why see this show?
A play that holds grief and laughter at the same time, exploring chosen family and queer joy with real warmth. If you want theatre that feels both honest and uplifting, this is a strong pick at the Fringe.
