Gang Bang was one of the best shows I saw, lively, good acting, great humour with some great one liners! One of the characters, Fray Bentos meets his end... Think about it, how would Fray Bentos meet his end? I thoroughly recommend this show!

First time Fringe Virgin! Sat in restaurant and lady passed leaflet asking us to support her son as playwrite for Gang Bang! All six of us went it was absolutely fabulous! So funny and so brilliantly acted. Half way through I wanted to watch it all over again, didn’t want it to end. Thanks to a mum promoting her son! Go see it!

This was hands down the best thing I saw at the Fringe, laugh out loud funny and excellent actors. Very talented cast and if you get a chance go and see this, it’s brilliant!

If you want some laugh out loud entertainment to fill your lunchtime, this is definitely the show for you. It's a fast paced comedy about the mafia in Blackpool; brilliantly clever writing, delivered by very talented actors with great comedic timing. I laughed from beginning to end - can highly recommend.

Hilarious, witty and fast paced delivery. A perfect way to spend an hour laughing from start to finish. Brilliantly acted by three super talented comedic performers

I got a ticket for this at the last minute just to kill time, and wasn’t expecting much. It was great, absurd plot of course, I don’t remember any significant musical numbers, maybe the Washington Post thought some of the jokes were too ‘regional’ (although I understood them all!), the ruthless gangster personas were not always convincing but that just made it funnier and the very human offsides made it seem more real and funnier, and the show of solidarity and unity between warring factions was lovely, just what the UK needed at the time.

Star Joyce 25 days ago

Brilliant from start to finish! Very high energy and packed with plenty of jokes throughout. Superb acting from all actors. Fred trenholme was definately a stand out role!

Oli Krause 26 days ago

Not what we expected but it was great fun.

Very professional and funny. The script was clever and witty and the actors were great at changing characters and delivering their lines. Would highly recommend this and coming from Blackpool myself meant even more. It is difficult to decide what to see at the fringe but am glad we chose this one.

The poster does not do this show justice. This is a mafia film spoof at it's finest! Filled with witty puns and clear characters, this is definitely a show not to miss!

Fun, energetic, but a little bit “shouty”.
