COVERING THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL SINCE 1996
Not The Horse (Naughty Corner Productions)

Tony is in deep. He only has four days to find £250,000, otherwise terrible things will happen to him. After losing an illegal horse racing bet with a group of gangsters, Tony, along with sidekicks Paul and Stan, embarks on a crazy and hilarious journey involving horse semen and ketamine. In this gangster movie parody, gangster Dom Jones and his crew are too thick and not evil enough, while Tony and his mates are simply clueless. With an energetic cast, this hilarious rip-off is fast-paced and at times completely absurd. The high point is certainly Stan’s drug trip, after he accidentally injects himself with horse tranquillizer. ‘Not The Horse’ is unpretentious fun for anyone looking for a good laugh.
