Michelle McKay

I am a freelance Theatre Producer and Actress, Co-founder of Blank Script Ltd, KinkyFish Theatre Company and Kinkyfish Improv. I trained in Classical and Musical Theatre singing before moving into acting, performing extensively as a child in Scotland, later moving to London to continue my career. I honed my producing skills with Theatre503 in London as Resident Assistant Producer before moving back to Scotland in late 2018.

Since moving back to Scotland I have started a regular new writing night, Page2Stage Edinburgh with Assembly Roxy providing a platform for new writers to have their work performed as a rehearsed reading with feedback from an industry panel, providing an invaluable networking opportunity for creatives.

I have founded and produced the annual Edinburgh International Improv Festival.

I have produced various shows for the Edinburgh Fringe, most notably the 5-star show, sell-out show, WIRED by Lesley Wilson and spoken word piece, The Mariner's Song by Rajan Sharma.

I am a recipient of the FST Producers Bursary working with Helen Milne Productions and currently working on a number of new projects since returning from maternity.
