ROB GATHERCOLE
ACTOR, MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, WRITER
MUSIC WORK
My work as a musician includes performing, composing, musically directing and arranging.
Most recently I co-wrote and performed in 'Rishi Sunak's Doing A Musical!', which premiered at Waterloo East Theatre in July 2024. In October 2023, my Breaking Bad parody 'methsical','Faking Bad' had a second run produced by Paul Taylor-Mills at the Turbine Theatre. A cast recording of the original show was released on 2nd November 2019. For more info check out the 'Faking Bad' link at the top of this page.
​
I am also currently working on piano and vocal arrangements for Gigglemug Theatre's new Edinburgh Fringe show, A Jaffa Cake Musical.
​
I am a member of the BML (Book, Music & Lyrics) Advanced Group, and am also currently working on a new musical comedy called 'The Sesh' with lyricist and book-writer Rebecca Simmonds (In Clay).
