Fringe favourites Four Screws Loose return for their fifth exciting year at Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 30 July to 25 August at The Assembly Bosco Tent so screw yourself in and prepare for The Big Screw-Up!
See the Four Screws Loose boys in Jeremy Kyle: The Panto, dance along to a sketch about Internet addicts set to the music of ABBA and be prepared to join in with the fun as they test the limits of audience participation. This is a show not to be missed as you meet ludicrous characters, see high-energy dance breaks and witness musical comedy theatre all with one little problem - the boys have all screwed up that one job they had to do! Luckily, Frisky and Mannish's Matthew Floyd Jones is in the director's chair so all the screw-ups happen in one hilarious musical parody of a show.
Critically acclaimed comedy group Four Screws Loose features Richard David-Caine, Joseph Elliott, Thom Ford and Conan House. Formed in 2009 they have since thrilled audiences up and down the country. They made their Edinburgh debut in 2010 with Latecomers Will Be Shot!, playing to full houses on every performance, and repeated the same critical and audience response at the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Fringe Festivals with their highly anticipated follow-up shows, Screwed Over Again, #screwtheworld and SCREWTOPIA! Their accomplishments include a London transfer at the Warehouse Theatre, a sell-out residency at the Leicester Square Theatre, rave performances at Bestival and Latitude festivals, a BBC televised performance on Scott Mills' Fun and Filth Cabaret and a hit run at the Soho Theatre and the 2014 Adelaide Fringe. They will feature in the forthcoming series of Sketchorama on BBC Radio 4 and individually their recent projects include West End hit musical Spamalot and RTS nominated CBeebies series Swashbuckle. Four Screws Loose are currently developing exciting projects for TV and online.
