About

Jonny & The Baptists: The Happiness Index

Off the back of a riotous Edinburgh Fringe 2024 run, Jonny & Paddy are bringing their show 'The Happiness Index' on tour Spring 2025.

The Happiness Index

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 are now 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.

"Very, very funny but digs deep. It is searingly angry, deeply personal about mental health, touching about the power of friendship and a riot on arts funding." Lyn Gardner

"The show is a genuine revelation, as filled with pathos as it is with laughs... Jonny & The Baptists personify that question of Brecht's: "In the dark times Will there be singing even then? Yes, there will be singing. About the dark times."" ★★★★★ Henry Bell, Morning Star
