In 2013, Matt Roberts and Tom Stabb, with a joint disposition and mutual love of dialogue and comedy, not to mention a shared caffeine addiction, combined their efforts towards creating a focused and dedicated touring theatre company. The aim – to maintain a high standard of entertainment and thoughtful use of dialogue, expressed by a wide variety of characters and actors through the means of new and original writing, drama and comedy. They have since been joined by the talented Al Wadlan, Chrissy Marshall and Jen Weatherhead, all of whom share the responsibilities of bringing Middle Weight Theatre’s ideas and creativity to life.

Since their debut at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, Middle-Weight Theatre have since gone on to perform all over the UK, collecting five star reviews along the way.
