Description

This is a tale of friendships lost, and learning to live with a present that isn’t as rosy as the past. It’s also the story of a barbershop singer who was kicked out of his quartet for stage-diving. The Dandy Daniels were the best quartet in the biz, but when lead singer, Jimminy D McSeventh is ousted for stage-diving, he has to look elsewhere for barbershop fulfilment. Brand-new character comedy from Tom Whiston 'Twisted humour, smart and ludicrous' **** (GutterCulture.com); 'Hilarious' (FourthWallMedia.wordpress.com); 'This is what the Fringe is all about' (SeeDoEatReview.com).

While on paper this was not my type of show, I ended up seeing it and I’m so glad I did. Definitely in my top 3 shows of this year’s fringe. Excellent chemistry between the 4 performers all being very likeable and watchable. The witty jokes are delivered masterfully and the audience participation is spot on throughout. Bedlam theatre was also ideal for this type of show. The audience was buzzing long after the show finished and pretty much everyone lingered around to meet the cast. Bravo!

Absolutely fantastic! Went to the WIP in Glasgow, loved it then. Loved it even more here at the Fringe. Would recommend 10/10 whether or not you're into barbershop quartets, musicals, harmonies, silly jokes, and /or puns.

A raucous hour of comedy featuring prolonged audience participation (the best kind), dancing, singing, and many, many straw boaters. Bring some friends and go see the Dandy Daniels they're a swell bunch of guys!

A brilliant evening's entertainment with fast, witty and absurd jokes, creative use of audience participation (Gary tonight) and impressive improvisational skills. Wish I'd stuck around to chat to Tom afterwards but had to rush off.
Value of the show far exceeds the ticket price.

This is a joyful, witty and well-conceived show about the fallout of a barbershop quartet. Me, my parents, and the rest of the audience were on-side and laughing from the start. Not only very fun and silly, but these boys are also truly talented - you will not want them to stop singing and will leave uplifted. A must see for the Fringe this year!

I loved this show. A really unique and fun story, with beautiful barbershop singing and laughs that kept on coming. Somewhat unhinged and a real spirit of the fringe vibe.

This show really encapsulates the spirit of the Fringe. Bare bones production values but a sharply written script executed by wonderfully funny and talented performers with elements of audience participation that means each night is sure to be unique. I was given a flyer for this about 45 minutes before it started and am very glad for it - this is a real hidden gem that you should go out of your way to attend during your visit

Absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more. Hilariously funny from start to finish with some top quality singing throughout.
