A halcyon, poignant and witty look into the emotions and back-story of Gunther. Well presented with lots of laughs along the way. I wasn’t a big friends fan back in the day, but I enjoyed the show and got the references.

A content packed show for true Friend’s fans. We really enjoyed it. Lively, plenty of audience participation. Will leave with a smile on your face.

Was looking forward to this, not really knowing what to expect. Have to be honest, didn’t really enjoy it only a few parts which made me laugh. Left feeling a bit out of pocket as ticket prices are at the higher end. Some parts of the audience looked to have it enjoyed it though.

Fun for Friends obsessives but you will need to know all the side plots to get all of it!

Great twist on the FRIENDS phenomenon, hilariously performed by triple threat Joe Maudsley who really played with the audience reactions and made the show feel like a special, one night only treat for the packed house.

As a major FRIENDS fan, I was disappointed with this. The jokes just didn’t land for me. Having said that, others in the audience enjoyed themselves.

Many people in the large audience enjoyed this. We didn’t.

Whether you are a die-hard fan of Friends or not, this show is excellent in its own right. Fantastic re-written lyrics, 90s nostalgia and some outragious dancing makes for some sore cheeks and ribs at the end of the show, in the best possible way. Highly recommended!

I'm not the biggest fan of Friends so I wondered if I would enjoy this show - the answer is yes! It was lighthearted and nostalgic, with some catchy musical numbers to boot. I probably didn't get all of the jokes, but it was still a lot of fun and an hour well spent.
