Following an acclaimed world premiere at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Fringe First winner Richard Marsh brings Top Gunchained to Wilton’s Music Hall before touring the UK in 2027. This unauthorised parody celebrates the iconic film and its enduring fandom – it’s essential viewing for Top Gun veterans and rookies alike.
Top Gunchained is the feel-good comedy that brings you the beloved characters, romance and action of Tom Cruise’s aerial blockbuster, alongside the heartfelt story of father and son superfans who can’t agree on anything except their favourite film.
Can Maverick and best friend Goose beat Iceman to the Top Gun trophy? Can instructor Charlie get a drink without anyone singing at her? Can one Fringe First-winning poet / nerd re-enact the movie’s signature dogfights – alone?
From the creative team behind the global smash hit Yippee Ki Yay. Written and performed by Richard Marsh – London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-winner and fighter pilot (one of these is untrue). Directed by Hal Chambers with movement by Emma Webb, this show will take your breath away.
