I know nothing about friends, was forced into audience participation, and still had an absolutely amazing time!

A great show, performed brilliantly with energy and humour. A great tribute for the series, especially those who loved it.

Great show. Joseph Maudsley was a hoot as Gunther and keeps the spirit of the show alive! :)

A very funny, cleverly scripted and excellently performed show!
A fantastic show for Friends fans but still pretty funny if you aren't. We all came out of the show smiling and singing parts of the songs. I highly recommend this show, as well as the sister show Buffy revamped, as top Fringe shows, *****.

A really good show, a wonderful recap of the friends series from the perspective of Gunther. Very funny and great audience engagement. If you love friends then there's nothing not to love, an ode to Gunther and the program with a nice message by which to live your life.

Maudsley is just brilliant as Gunther. He has the perfect take on his obsession with Rachel and a great rapport with the audience, especially when audience participation is required.

It’s a very family friendly show and it was a full house at Gilded Balloon at the Museum. If you’re a “Friends Fan”, you should stop by.
