It’s a party on stage, with top sounds from music’s greatest decade, an hour of spectacular silliness, laughter and fun – comedy hypnotist Matt Hale’s TOP FUN! 80s Spectacular Remix.
Every night is different as the high-octane Aussie entertainer is joined on stage by a bevy of volunteers for some of the best fun of the Fringe.
With the power of suggestion, audiences enjoy a wild 80s ride featuring air guitars, meerkats, rampaging dinosaurs, supermodels, bizarre Bon Jovi moments, cheerleader pom-pom routines and the best dance moves this side of ’85.
It’s 60 minutes of pure joy whether you are sitting in the audience or accept the invitation to dive in and join Matt on stage.
And with more bounce than a wallaby on a trampoline Matt and his mates took some of their craziness to the streets of Edinburgh.
After the success of his original show at last year’s Fringe, and 70 million+ views online, Matt’s Remixversion has enjoyed huge popularity Down Under.
The reviews say it all:
- “The laughter is uncontrollable!” Fringefeed ★★★★★
- “A show you MUST NOT MISS this Fringe season” Glam Adelaide ★★★★★
- “Top Fun was exactly that! This year’s show was the best!” HiFi Way ★★★★★
- “Laugh until your sides hurt!” WeekendNotes.com ★★★★★
- “Rollicking good time” SeeDoEatReview.com ★★★★★
- “Spectacular silliness! Absolute feel-good must-see show” XPressMag.com.au ★★★★½
The TOP FUN! 80s Spectacular Remix is ideal for all ages and the whole family (only over 18s on stage).
Matt is renowned for his fresh brand of hypno-laughs that turn the sometimes stuffy traditional hypnosis show on its head.
Based in Perth, Australia, but originally from the UK, Matt uses the focussed imagination of volunteers to unlock the incredible ability of their minds.
And the upbeat soundtrack of top 80s hits will have everyone singing along, with everything from Islands in the Stream to Ghostbusters!
