Welcome to Roly Poly – sensory theatre for under-twos and their grown-ups

We’re Charly Jolly and Maddie Broad, two “professional playful people” making sensory performance with babies and their caregivers.

Roly Poly is a warm, musical playscape where families can relax, play and explore together. Using cardboard props, soft lighting and live instruments, we transform community spaces into gentle worlds of sound and movement – designed especially for the youngest audience members.

“Amazing! I can’t believe a 7 month old was so engaged - best thing we’ve done”

“We felt relaxed, very at ease and comfortable being ourselves. He thoroughly enjoyed every second and it catered to his additional needs”

“My little one was mesmerised watching the show and enjoyed being able to move around”

“A chance to sit still! And be in a safe environment to do whatever felt right”

We’re currently touring across Suffolk (where Charly lives) and Brighton/East Sussex (where Maddie lives) from October 2025 to March 2026.

Take a look at our 2024 tour in Lowestoft, where we visited the Library, four Family Hubs and the local Theatre:
