About this show
Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, Matt Anderson's Shotgunned is a relatable and intimate piece of theatre about how the people we lose can shape who we become. Described by The Stage as 'a cleverly composed, superbly performed, achingly moving two-hander'. * (Stage). 'Shotgunned is empathetic, heartfelt, and endearing all at once' (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk). Following a sold-out run in 2024, Shotgunned returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as part of the 2026 Made in Scotland showcase. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com

There’s also a disco break, which, as the audience have no idea at what stage in their relationship it takes place, makes it regrettably superfluous.
— The Real Chrisparkle (4 out of 5 stars)
It’s a well-crafted, heartfelt and endearing two-hander, concluding on a bittersweet note of what might have been.
Touching, funny, heartfelt theatre.
