The Olive Boy

A CRUDE, COMPELLING, COMING OF AGE COMEDY.

You're 15 years old, struggling through school and coming to terms with the early

stages of adolescence. Things are tricky when you're growing up. You get dealt yet

another devastating blow. But this time, it's worse. Your mum's passed away.

Now what?

 

Based on Ollie Maddigan’s real life story, “The Olive Boy" is a crude but compelling

comedy written and performed by Ollie Maddigan himself. Initially introduced at the

Hope Theatre in 2021, the show quickly gained attention during its three-night run as

part of the Camden Fringe and then in 2022 as part of its month-long sell out run at The

Edinburgh Fringe. Renowned for its gripping narrative and Ollie’s remarkable onstage

presence, "The Olive Boy" has received praise from both theatre-goers and critics.

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Maddigan crafts a delicate balance of humour and sadness, beautifully merging the destructive blows of grief and family strife”

The Student, Review by Rosa Georgiou

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Brilliant and thought provoking”

The Derek awards

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“An engaging, compelling and exceptional story”
