Cold Comfort Productions was founded to create accessible theatre for all. It blends the ‘highbrow’ with the ‘lowbrow’ and aims to make theatre snobbery of the past obsolete. 

The work is comedic, irreverent and fast-paced. The company, and Jude’s writing, focuses on stories of authority and rebellion, addiction and forgiveness, and accounts for multiple viewpoints. Jude believes strongly in freedom of expression in the arts. 

Jude’s directing style mixes naturalism with verses of physical theatre and music. The company specialises in working with, and supporting, early career actors -regardless of age- who may not yet have any professional credits or an agent. 

*Cold Comfort Productions welcomes the eating of popcorn at all of its shows.
