About Dreamgun Film Reads
Dreamgun Film Reads is a sixty-minute comedy show from professional company Dreamgun Film Reads, performed at a Wine Bar venue on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Each night, Dreamgun and special guests perform a different parody film script rewritten with fresh jokes and read live by completely unprepared comedians — producing an unrehearsed, rapid-fire, cinematic mess. Previous guests have included Dara Ó Briain, Rose Matafeo, Nish Kumar and Aisling Bea. Films have included The Shawshank Redemption, Psycho and Jumanji. The full schedule is listed on the web listing. Suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
