Gang Show is with us again and as everyone always says it’s come round quickly! Rehearsals are in full swing and with scenery to be made and costumes to be sorted it won’t be long till be are in the Carver on opening night. All the cast seemed to be having the time of their lives so we thought that we would go and ask a few questions to see how they are getting on and we have a couple of pictures too!
Question time with Dan White and Dennis Coe
Are you enjoying Gang Show?
Yes, it’s like fun, even better than eating cheesecake.
What’s the best thing about being in the show?
I love being in sketches they’re great fun and a real good laugh, I am hoping to be an actor when I am taller and follow in the footsteps of my role model Judy Dench.
What would be your ideal dinner at gang show?
“its fifteen minutes till pot noodle time” says Dan white so probably gotta be a pot noodle. They’re so full of noodley goodness, they’re great! Dan was later seen running to the hatch screaming “POT NOODLE!”.
Who’s your favourite adult cast member and why?
Steve I guess because I can’t think of any other, he is just so great that I forget who all the others are.
Are you looking forward to getting on stage?
Yes, it’s the best bit. I can’t wait for my mum and dad to see me on stage and if I am honest I just love the chance to wear make up in public (but don’t tell anyone).
Question time with Debbie Sprek
How do you feel the show is going?
It’s going really well at the moment, but we are getting a little behind at the moment mainly because Steve won’t stop faffing and it doesn’t help that costumes will be in next weekend taking over the hut at per usual.
What is your favourite item?
It’s got to be funfair the scenery is ace and I am looking forward to laughing at stage crew trying to get it on stage, it weighs a ton (cheers Bernard and Jupe!)
Who is your favourite stage crew member?
It got to be Ben he may be small but he is brimming with enthusiasm and has a real get up and go attitude, unlike the rest of them.
Question Time with the producers
How do you feel the show it going at the moment?
It’s not that bad, says Steve Spreckley, we have a way to go still but I can see true potential in the Gang. Not all the cast mind, there are few dodgy performers in the adult cast but we try to put them at the back that no one can see them.
What’s your favourite item?
Has to be dogs, any item that you can get a poo box on stage, classic! That’s a winner in my mind!
Who is your favourite cast member?
It’s a gang we don’t have favourites, “there are no stars in gang show” says Steve Spreckley
Has anything gone wrong so far?
Well joining was probably the biggest mistake we made says Jess Bray, Steve Spreckley added that it might be easier to ask what has gone right. Though reports have it that there has been a case of Mr Spreckley leaving all the words at home. When questioned Steve laughed and said it must be due to old age!
