About the company

Hooky Productions is an award-winning theatre company created by Maya Hallpike and Rosa Thomas.

In the summer of 2019, Maya and Rosa brought their debut sketch comedy show "Sis!" to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - "it's all utterly ridiculous and it's all utterly fantastic" (Edfringe Review).  

They went on to develop the character of 'Monkion' and the show "Experiment Human" for which they won the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence in Association for the Rotunda Theatre at the Scotsman Fringe Awards in 2022. The company was supported to take 'Experiment Human' to the Rotunda Theatre at Brighton Fringe in May 2023.

Off the back of this success, they created a new experimental show "There's a Monkion in Your Attic" touring to London, Iceland, Durham and Edinburgh in 2023.

They won an OffWestEnd Award/ OFFIE 2024, as well as Keep It Fringe Funding which supported them to bring the developed version of Experiment Human to Underbelly Cowgate, Edinburgh Fringe.

They are currently developing a new show 'Baby World' which was part of Sprint Festival's Big Bang Scratch night.
