Photo Flash: Brendan Murphy Stars In FRIEND At Edinburgh Fringe
The entirety of cult sitcom Friends - all 10 seasons and 236 episodes - in just one hour! The Edinburgh Fringe will host the world premiere of this new solo show from acclaimed comic actor Brendan Murphy, reimagining the TV classic through the eyes of barista Gunther, who will welcome audiences to a specially created coffee shop venue at Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
On arriving at the unique venue, which is being opened exclusively for the strictly limited run of FRIEND, ticketholders will be invited to grab a coffee and settle down in Gunther's café, to hear the true insider story of what happened to Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica and Joey - from the one Friendscharacter who kept them caffeinated through all of the highs, lows, love affairs and failed auditions along the way, in this comic parody created and performed by Brendan Murphy.
Writer and performer Brendan Murphy's credits include The Crown Dual (King's Head), The Crooners (Pleasance Edinburgh), Potted Potter (US Tour and CAA Theatre, Toronto), King Kong - A Comedy (The Vaults), Twelfth Night (Orange Tree Theatre), Enter the Bagman (Gilded Balloon), Knightmare Live (Uderbelly, Southbank Centre), Lost Property (Soho Theatre), The Adventure (Lyric Hammersmith, Royal Exchange), Accomplice (Menier Chocolate Factory) and Newsrevue(Pleasance Edinburgh).
