About Us
Maybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't
"Maybe You Like It Are A Terrifically Exciting Company" - The Stage
Maybe You Like It make energetic live shows that are story driven, pushing creative and technical boundaries at every scale. We make work that has a broad appeal and is accessible and entertaining for all. Our work feels filmic, fluid and necessarily theatrical.
​
We value collaboration, stories and the way we tell them, making brilliant work, playfulness, the audience, inclusivity, kindness, fun, liveness, silliness, creative ambition and ideas.
​
Maybe You Like It shows have been awarded the Edinburgh National Partnership, finalists for The Charlie Hartill Award, The Untapped Award, The Holden Street Theatres Award, and named among Picks of the Edinburgh Fringe from The Independent and WhatsOnStage.
​
In 2025, Maybe You Like It were named Associate Artists at The Pleasance for 2025-27.​
