C Main at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, August 2015
Take seven eager contestants, three feuding judges and one bewildered host, and mix together in a small village. Add the pressure of a baking competition and you've got a recipe for an hilarious musical comedy! The small English village of Bakewell, Derbyshire is holding its annual baking competition and the eclectic group of contestants each hoping that their baking skills will impress the judges.
