Take That, Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, New Kids on the Block and most fabulous of all 4MATT – the very best of the of the 90s boy bands.
Who could forget 4MATT’s mesmerising single Hypnotised hailed by critics as “three and a half minutes of pure, key-changing euphoria”?
And the guys themselves. Always gettin’ jiggy with it, booyah! Mega personalities.
Lead singer and heartthrob Matt Hale, backing vocals and cheeky charmer Matty Hail, the international man of mystery Matteo Hayelle and the seriously sincere balladeer Matthew Hayle.
OK … so 4MATT may never have existed – but comedy hypnotist Matt Hale was a DJ back in the 90s and always fantasised about having his own hit boy band.
And now he’s making it come true every day at the Fringe.
Impossible? No. Silly? Absolutely!
A highlight of his fast-paced Funbelievable! 90s Rewind comedy hypnosis show sees hypnotised volunteers on stage invited to form the Ultimate Boy Band.
And they love it – it’s a chance to pose, play, sing and dance. It’s slick moves, perfect harmonies, and the kind of emotional intensity usually reserved for a shampoo commercial.
“It’s amazing,” says Matt. “We get perfectly synchronised dance moves, dramatic pointing, and a final note that could shatter the glass in a Smash Hits award trophy.”
Throughout the show, thanks to the power of suggestion, audience volunteers enjoy an on-stage rave reliving the best of a decade which gave us Britpop, Grunge, Girl Power, Pulp Fiction (and Pulp), Friends, Sonic The Hedgehog, Titanic and great cultural classics like The Macarena and Barbie Girl.
The whole crowd revels in the biggest, cheesiest, bangers of the decade, dodgy fashion throwbacks and the kind of pure silliness that reminds you why the 90s were so damn fun.
And Matt, a multi-award-winning entertainer from Oz will is always there bouncing around at the heart of the action.
So, whether you are one of the Shiny Happy People on stage or just revelling in the laughter from your seat it promises to be 60 minutes of unmissable silliness.
It’s all about regular people doing daft things on stage (a lot of them set to great music) and an audience loving every silly second of it.
Funbelievable! 90s Rewind is for the whole family – but only over 18s can go up on stage – and promises to be fresh and fun, with no two shows ever quite the same.
