Accordion Ryan's Pop Bangers

Thank GAWD for Accordion Ryan and his Pop Bangers. For a blissful hour, he is my chosen saviour, his songs are my holy hymns, and, together they make 32 Below my church. Accordion Ryan sparks a communal joy as he performs pop bangers and woos everyone with his natural charm and slight madness. All in all, Accordion Ryan’s Pop Bangers is a show that is not to be missed, timeless, and meant to be cherished. This is my favorite Fringe show for two years in a row and I hope to see Accordion Ryan performing more Pop Bangers again next year, gawd-willing!!!!

Ryan has an amazing energy that captures you just at the door before the show starts.
I went to the show last night, and now understand why it had been so busy all the previous ones! It is a great fun show, very entertaining, the room was quite hot but also filled of good vibes coming from Ryan, his great voice, his explosive personality, and his accordion!
A great way to finish a day, but also a great way of starting a night out!
Super recommended

Well it's pretty plainly obvious how he managed to win over the notoriously imperious Simon Cowell - a towering challenge for most. I mean, the title gives it away, doesn't it? This accordion titan smashes his way through many an anthem and brings a reverential quiet when sensitive and emotion-filled ballads bring a tear to the eyes of all in the house.

It's not just the musical ability of the man. It's the showmanship. The playful and inclusive style of audience interaction, the unexpected twists and turns taken in each performance. Songs you have loved for years will be given a new lease of life - and only using the accordian and voice - but not only Ryan's voice. You'll want to sing along and add to the boisterous atmosphere fostered by Ryan and his eclectic choice of songs.

Sing along under Ryan’s umbrella… ella… ella!

A previous review (scroll down \/) by Toni says, “Ryan is so personable that I felt like I was watching my little brother perform in our parent’s basement.”

As one of the three people in the world (ok, 5 with in-laws, so far) who can legitimately call Ryan our little brother, I will 100% confirm this is exactly how it went down growing up in New Jersey. Ryan knows I am the last person on Earth who’d give my own kin a glowing review instead of calling out their flaws. But damn it, he’s hard-earned every single full house this Fringe (his 3rd running) with his snarky, polyglottal live pop hit renditions—plus original creations—that raise your spirits as high as your pints… or at least remind you you’re not alone when life gets rough or love is hard to find.

Great fun and a wonderfully FREE Fringe show! Get there early to queue because the room will fill!

High-Energy, Sing-Along, Best Pick

"Accordion Ryan’s Pop Bangers" is a blast! Ryan’s plays accordion renditions of pop songs you never knew you needed!

It's perfect for a fun night out with friends—or for making new ones on the spot.

The spontaneous energy, sing-along vibes, and a few original tunes by this singer-songwriter rival Weird Al! This show is a Perfect Match. Make this show a must-see. One of my best picks of the Fringe!

Bring a mate, bring a date, bring your mates date.
Absolutely 5 star entertainment, by a true professional.

In his hands the accordion is a musical masterpiece, and his dance moves will give anyone a run for their money.

Best night of entertainment I could think of, that’s why I keep going back again and again.

Got to admit we weren't exactly sure what to expect from this show but it was absolutely fantastic. Great range of tunes, many you'd never expect to be played on an Accordian by an entertainer who seems to have unlimited energy. Ryan is a great guy so make time for this show...

An all round brilliant show, so glad I rushed over and arrived late. 10/10, as good as Terminator 2.

Lots of fun and something a bit different! Feel good and upbeat. Great if you love pop music!

Great show. My first lucky pick of the fringe. I wasnt sure what to expect but it was amazing. Such a fun hour. He filled the tiny venue and needs a bigger space. He would fill that too.

Had a great time! Ryan’s show is super fun! Ryan is so personable that I felt like I was watching my little brother perform in our parent’s basement. Thanks for a great introduction to Edinburgh Fringe, Ryan!
