Following a highly praised fun at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Jonny & The Baptists are taking their poignant and hilarious production, The Happiness Index on a terrific UK tour!
Blending mental health, politics, and personal tragedy The Happiness Index looks at the recent tumultuous years of UK Politics and the modern-day mental health support – or lack thereof – through musical comedy, sharp social commentary, and raw emotional honesty. Through their unique blend of wit and vulnerability, Jonny Donahoe (Every Brilliant Thing, Stop UKIP) and Paddy Gervers (Lefty Scum, Making Paddy Happy) reflect on how our mental wellbeing is shaped by the political and societal landscape.
Developed alongside award-winning theatre-maker James Rowland and produced by Impatient Productions, The Happiness Index explores themes of mental health, grief, and resilience. With a show that explores the impact of 14 years of Conservative rule, the consequences of unrestrained capitalism, and the personal toll of mental health struggles, The Happiness Index is a powerful reflection on surviving the chaos of the world while seeking connection and humanity.
