Members Only - Review A Play A Pie and A Pint Glasgow Oran Mor (2026) 

Members Only a sit-com about friendship, betrayal and Bingo. Written by Marc Pye and Gayle Telfer Stevens, Directed by Maureen Carr. 

As you enter the Venue in Oran Mor the pop song Girls Just want to Have Fun is belting out, paving the way for the comedy that ensues. 

Angie and Linda the mothers of the play arrive on stage prior to the introduction to play a game of Bingo with the audience, much laughing and cheering happens as a wee wummin in the front row wins herself another drink! 

Angie played by Julie Duncanson and Linda by Sandra McNeeley are best friends and have become addicted to playing the Bingo every Friday Night, although they won't admit it's gambling! They have formed a pact that any money won, no matter how small they will split 50/50. 

Their Daughters Amy ( Eimi Quinn) and Stacey (Taya Sian) are also best friends but worlds apart in personality Stacey is an influencer determined to look perfect  and ensnare her perfect man a rich handsome footballer. Amy a more bookish University drop out dreams of opening a dog grooming salon. 

Taya Sian gets many a hearty laugh looking at herself in the phone camera and hoping she will get enough saved to have a Brazilian Bum Lift!

Neither of the daughters show any sign of joining the old biddies in the Bingo Hall. That is until £40,000 becomes the national prize. 

Using a stolen ID card the girls go to the Bingo Amy after having convinced her Mum she needs to stop spending money they don't have. 

Of course Stacey wins the money and her idea of the split isn't what it should be. 

Will it all work out and friendships restored - you will have to catch the tour at the Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival. 

While the play might not offer any great revelations and the story feels a bit well worn. There is some cracking patter between all the characters, during an argument between Linda and Stacey , Linda turns to her fake tanned daughter and said you look and smell like a Digestive biscuit! 

Julie and Sandra as the mothers really do feel like they have been friends for years and their mock chat up lines to Les the lisping creep of a Bingo caller played by a recorded Jonathan Watson are hilarious. 

Maureen Carr never lets the pace drop, keeping the three locations between Stacey's bedroom , Angie's living room and the Bingo Hall very distinct.  

Whilst this play doesn't reinvent the wheel the PPP audience and I thought it was a whole lot of fun, and really enjoyed the 60mins of laughs.
