"A humorous homage and an ode to Gunther!"
From the team that brought us Buffy Revamped*, we are taken through all 236 episodes of the infamous TV sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S retold through the eyes of Central Perk’s favourite barista, Gunther.
An entertaining 70 minutes sees performer Joseph Maudsley play the platinum protagonist (and some other supporting cast members) as he zipped through comedy sketches loaded with side-splitting songs and parodies.
And, of course, Gunther’s story wouldn’t be complete without the unrequited love he had for Rachel, as he reminded us of all the times he missed his chance with her throughout the entire run (10 seasons) of the show.
Arguably, the best supporting character from the show, it’s clear to see why he was the “seventh friend”.
Joseph does a fantastic job engaging with the audience and making the show an enjoyable, family friendly experience.
A touching tribute came at the end of the show where you could make a donation to Prostate Cancer UK in honour of the man who starred as Gunther in the TV series, James Michael Tyler, sadly passed away from the agonising disease last year.
So, if you’re a fan of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S saga, you need check out this humorous homage and an ode to Gunther!

Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.
From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.
The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.
