Full Press Release

Having caused a storm at last year's Fringe, wonderfully wrong five-man sketch group Late Night Gimp Fight are back with a brand new show, ingeniously called Late Night Gimp Fight! With no need for a fancy new title, thanks to last year's raft of dazzling reviews and Best Newcomer nomination, Late Night Gimp Fight offer a sublimely irreverent hour of carefully crafted skits that is unapologetic in its silliness.

Late Night Gimp Fight - aka David Moon, Lee Griffiths, Matt Ralph, Paul Biggin and Richard Campbell - look set to build on the success of the last two years' fringe shows. Directed by Steve Marmion, Soho Theatre's artistic director, this year's hour of fast-paced, dark and off-the-wall sketches and tightly choreographed musical set-pieces, held together by myriad multimedia elements, is going to be bigger, more spectacular and better than ever.

The Gimps were an underground hit at 2009's Fringe and a late-night smash last year, when they were nominated for the Edinburgh Festival Comedy newcomer award. It was well-deserved; they may be gimps, but these five young men are also grafters, as evidenced by the slickly choreographed sketches and tight scripts, which are in debt to the quintet's acting backgrounds. Lee, Matt and Paul trained at East 15 Acting School, David studied at Drama Studio London and Richard studied Law at Bristol but made pre-Gimp Fringe appearances in various plays.

This year's show promises Gimp-fuelled groans and guffaws by the shed load - and the weirdest use of a Henry Hoover ever. Fact.
