THE EXTRAS STRIKE BACK

The Extras Strike Back: A Musical Tribute to the Forgotten Heroes of Star Wars. For too long the supporting characters of Star Wars have been overshadowed by the popularity of the beloved heroes. Wellno more. Who really was Roger Roger? Was the Wampa actually mean? And why is that Imperial Officer always being choked? Discover the untold stories behind the Galaxys background characters in this uplifting, comedic, musical cabaret, as we finally give the extras their long overdue leading moment in the sun.

Written and produced by George Gehm and Glenn Clarke, this is an exclusive preview of their musical celebration of the secondary characters in a galaxy far, far away, before it heads to the Outer Rim... otherwise known as The Edinburgh Fringe festival!

Doors at 6pm, show from 7pm.

Advance tickets are 9 plus booking fee.

This is a mixed seated/standing event with limited seats allocated first come first serve on the night. If you have accessibility requirements, please contact [email protected]. No refunds

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
