Book NowAbout the show
Top Gunchained is a feel-good theatrical parody of Tom Cruise's aerial blockbuster, presented by Seabright Live with Richard Marsh and directed by Hal Chambers at the Wine Bar. The show follows beloved characters Maverick, Goose and Iceman, alongside the heartfelt story of father and son superfans, and asks whether one Fringe First-winning nerd can reenact the film's signature dogfights alone. This very unauthorised parody marks 40 years since Top Gun's cinema release. The show runs for 70 minutes and is suitable for those aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A witty, one-person parody that celebrates Top Gun while weaving in a genuinely touching father-and-son story. From the creator of international smash Yippee Ki Yay, this unauthorised show at the Wine Bar is essential viewing for Top Gun veterans and rookies alike.
