About this show
Three amateur archaeologists... One fedora... A whole lot of snakes. Join our fearless troupe as they parody the legendary Indiana Jones trilogy live on stage! Brand-new breakneck comedy of chaos by and starring Daniel Clarkson (co-creator of Potted Potter and Panto, director of Biff To The Future) and Brendan Murphy (creator of FRIEND and Buffy Revamped), joined on stage by Victoria Blunt. Directed by Olivier nominee Owen Lewis. Armed only with sheer misplaced confidence, can this heroic adventure stay on the mine-cart rails? Buy the ticket, take the ride and find out whether... you have chosen wisely.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 9 published reviews and 48 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
A lo-fi Indiana Jones parody raids the franchise’s greatest hits with playful ingenuity, affectionate silliness and just enough Harrison Ford likeness to hold it all together.
— The List (4 out of 5 stars)
With as much spectacle as the material it parodies, this is a massive, and massively entertaining production of a show, which nevertheless maintains its joy in handmade props and silly jokes.
Indy! (Gilded Balloon, four stars) is a spectacular spoof of the finest moments of the Indiana Jones franchise, written by and starring Daniel Clarkson and Brendan Murphy and also starring Victoria Blunt
