A Drinking Game NYC at Edinburgh

Introduction

    Friends, fans, fellow movie nerds! Lend us your ears!


We have some really exciting news...

A Drinking Game NYC has been accepted to the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival!!

(^^^That’s in SCOTLAND! Inconceivable!)


This is an amazing step forward for ADG.  It is an opportunity to show our fellow film fanatics across the pond what we’re all about: movies, games, beer, community, and above all, FUN. There won’t be anything else like it at the festival, so we have a chance to stand out and grow our already-amazing fan base.  


Gratitude

Speaking of our fan base: YOU are the greatest treasure in all the land. Our shows succeed because you’re all so GAME - quoting along, singing to the soundtrack, reminding us of the rules (“Drink!”) and laughing at all of our fourth-wall-breaking and tipsy screwups.  Your support and enthusiasm has inspired us to take on this next challenge.  So, from all of us at ADG, thank you for being a part of the silliness.


Who We Are

-ADG NYC Board Members: Laura Perez, Jessie Bangarang Atkinson, Dave May, Lucky Gretzinger, & Hanley Smith

-Edinburgh Producer: Sam Underwood

-Edinburgh Cast: Laura Perez, Jessie Bangarang Atkinson, Dave May, Lucky Gretzinger, Hanley Smith, Becca Bruder, Christian Chopper Jacobs, William Connell, Thomas Mendolia, & Cheryl Mendolia


What We Do

For those of you unfamiliar with our format, here it is in a nutshell: talented actors, with scripts in hand, recreate cult classic films for a live audience. One night only. A new show every month. Each movie comes with a list of buzzwords and phrases. When you hear one, a bell rings and everybody drinks! The actors are in on the fun, too - every time their characters’ names are spoken, it’s bottoms up for them as well.  So as the night goes on, things start to get a bit zany.  

We love movies, and our aim is to lovingly recreate the films we all grew up on - with a twist. We also love people, and our shows have proven to be a wonderful way to bring people together in the name of community and shared childhood memories.

Here are a few examples:

Our Plan at the Festival

We’re aiming to bring five different shows over to the Fringe for a total of fifteen performances from August 2nd - August 21st. These include The Princess BrideBack to the Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Goonies, and Monthy Python and the Holy Grail.
