Dreamgun and special guests perform a different parody film script every night, rewritten with fresh jokes and read live by completely unprepared comedians. It's an unrehearsed, rapid-fire, cinematic mess. Previous guests include Dara Ó Briain, Rose Matafeo, Nish Kumar and Aisling Bea. From The Shawshank Redemption to Psycho to Jumanji, no childhood favourite is safe. Check the web listing for the full schedule. 'Merciless, hilarious' ***** (Irish Times). 'Kept us in stitches' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). For line up of films, please visit: https://tickets.gildedballoon.co.uk/event/14:6696/
