About Jonny & The Baptists: The Happiness Index
Recommended Age Guide 14+ | Contains strong language, allusions to bestiality.
SCOTTISH PREMIERE
Are you happy? We can help!
Five Prime Ministers ago, David Cameron started a ‘happiness index’ to measure how joyful the people of this nation are. Which is ironic, given what he then did.
Anyway, we’ve picked up the baton and now are trying to find out what the hell we should do with it.
A new personal and political show about our desire, and the country’s struggle, to just be happy.
‘We laugh at the jokes… but we feel the pain, the increasingly frantic desperation, too. And this is the genius of these two: they make us laugh, then the penny drops – this is the way vulnerable people are treated in 21st century Britain.’ ★★★★★ Edinburgh Reporter
