Matty Grey’s usual frenetic pace, ability to hype up kids, and frequent audience participation are all turned up a notch for his third Fringe show offering for 2023. Grossed Out Game Show is possibly his best show yet – it’s certainly the loudest!

Joined on stage by two helpful minions and two victims/guests (in this instance the delightful Circus Firemen), the minions, guests and audience are split into the Blue Team and Yellow Team. Loud encouragement of respective teams is expected, and heckling of the opposing team is mandatory. The objective is straightforward – a series of games allows the teams to earn points. The more points, the more slime gets poured on the opposing team guest at the end.

Everything from silly string, lolly snakes on fishing rods, “siamese triplet” pants and balloon-stuffed sumo suits, to fishbowls and water guns are employed in non-stop antics that had the kids screaming in delight. 

Once again, Matty knows what kids love, and what parents hate.
