Fungasm: Save or Smash
Fungasm Gameshow • Semi-professional company
About Fungasm Gameshow
Fungasm Gameshow presents this absurdist game show in which contestants decide the fate of delicate pottery items: kept as a prized possession or smashed to oblivion. Contestants could walk away with a snazzy teapot, a commemorative plate or a delicate figurine — though only one lucky soul is destined for the Bonanza Digital Experience. Sharkira provides musical accompaniment for the less fortunate. Expect absurd challenges, questionable judgement and dramatic audience decisions. Participation is optional. The show runs for 60 minutes at the Basement, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and tickets are £13.50.
Why see this show?
Part game show, part destruction event, entirely unpredictable — this is the Fringe at its most gleefully absurd. If you've ever wanted to determine the fate of a teapot in front of a live audience, your moment has arrived.
