Top Gunchained

This uplifting comedy brings you a jet-powered tour through your favourite characters, and all the romance and action of Tom Cruise’s aerial blockbuster, alongside the heartfelt story of father and son superfans who can’t agree on anything except their favourite film. Can Maverick and best friend Goose beat Iceman to the Top Gun trophy? Can instructor Charlie get a drink without anyone singing at her? Can one Fringe First-winning poet/nerd re-enact the movie’s signature dogfights – alone? On the 40th anniversary of Top Gun’s cinema release, this unauthorised parody celebrates the iconic film and its enduring fandom. Essential viewing for Top Gun veterans and rookies alike, this show will take your breath away. From the creative team behind the global smash hit Yippee Ki Yay. Written and performed by Richard Marsh – Fringe First-winner, London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-winner and fighter pilot (one of these is untrue).
