We're still collecting donations

On the 24th July 2024 we'd raised £1,150 with 27 supporters in 35 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

 New stretch target

We've set a modest goal to help cover our production costs, but the biggest barrier to Fringe participation is the personal cost of not being able to work our normal jobs during August (but still having to pay rent back home!). As a company, it is important to us to pay everyone fairly, and any money beyond our goal will enable us to be more adequately compensated for our work, while also expanding our options for marketing and design to have our show can reach as many people as possible.


Hi! 

We're Maybe You Like It, a  company specialising in frantic theatrical comedy. 

This August, we're taking our third show up to the Edinburgh Fringe, for the whole month. Here it is:

Sorry (I Broke Your Arms And Legs)

Pleasance Bunker 3, 2:05PM, 31 Jul-25 Aug (excl. 13th)

Sam’s obviously the correct choice for Head Boy. He’s got the PowerPoint to prove it. And he’s not above violence… 

On the first day of Year 8, Sam Wilson (Class 8C) discovers something dark: there may be others besides him in the running for Head Boy. With the future of uniform standards at stake, one Pleasure-To-Have-In-Class has just five days and a collection of PowerPoint transition effects to destroy the opposition and claim his throne. But amidst musical auditions, playground football, and overwrought machiavellian scheming, the road to Head Boy will certainly be no Geography with Mr Baker (Geography with Mr Baker is massively easy). And that’s saying nothing of figuring out how, or crucially why, to talk to a girl at the disco on Thursday.

As the race intensifies, will Sam cause another boy grievous bodily harm? See title.

About Us

Written and performed by James Akka (Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!), who had Broadway World 'howling with laughter', this is our third show as a company, and we're better positioned than ever to make a big impact. Last year were were praised by The Scotsman for 'imagination, wit, and a mountain of meta-theatrical humour', and this year we're doing it all again and stepping up our game. Wiser, professional-er, sillier.

The Ask

We're really excited about this show: our first solo show, our first directly queer narrative, our first musical number! Fringe audiences love our madcap style, but it's more expensive than ever to bring work to Edinburgh. Costs include:

  • Accommodation
  • Venue Hire
  • Equipment Hire
  • Design (Lighting, Sound, Print)
  • Posters and flyers
  • Living costs
  • Travel
  • ...and more.

The summer is a huge financial undertaking, and so any amount you can contribute towards our goal is greatly appreciated and will go straight towards making this our most successful Fringe to date. 

Thanks for reading!
