Comedy Central's FriendsFest

COMEDY CENTRAL’S FRIENDSFEST TO OPEN IN LONDON THIS SEPTEMBER

An Interactive Week-Long Fan Experience Featuring a Full Scale Set of Monica’s Apartment, Exhibition of Original Props & Central Perk Inspired Café

Comedy Central UK is bringing a touch of New York chic to London’s trendy East End this September with FriendsFest, a celebration of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

From Wednesday, 16 - Sunday, 20 September, The Boiler House on Brick Lane will be transformed into the ultimate Friends experience, giving fans the chance to immerse themselves into the world made famous by Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe.

Comedy Central’s FriendsFest will feature a full scale set of Monica’s apartment, home to some of the best-loved scenes from the ever-popular series. From the back window where the gang would spy on the ‘Ugly Naked Guy’, to the kitchen made famous by Rachel’s delicious meat trifle, fans will have full access to explore the apartment.

An exhibition of original props and memorabilia will also feature at Comedy Central’s FriendsFest. Plus fans will be able to enjoy a coffee at the Central Perk inspired café, have their pictures taken on the unmistakable orange sofa or by a replica of the iconic fountain. They can visit a pop-up “Rachel” blow dry salon, hang out in a New York themed courtyard, enjoy a game of foosball with friends or simply put their feet up and relax on a lazy boy watching episodes of the show.

Viewers wanting to get into the mood for Comedy Central’s FriendsFest will be able to watch all 236 episodes of Friends in chronological order, weekdays from Monday, 24 August.
