Blackout – Fear Loves an Audience

Late at night, a small cast gathers inside an old theatre for what should be a straightforward rehearsal. But the building carries a reputation. Whispered stories, half-remembered warnings and long-held superstitions that most performers dismiss… until they can’t.

When the theatre doors close, something shifts and what should be fiction starts to feel dangerously real. Expect the unexpected as reality and storytelling begin to blur, plunging you into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems.

Blackout puts you inside the experience, where every movement, sound and shadow pulls you deeper into the dark. Brace yourself for unnerving twists, creeping shadows, and moments that will make your heart race.

Because fear loves an audience.

Locomotive For Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit

Mesdames and Messieurs, may I take your tickets please?

Pinch Punch welcome you aboard Locomotive for Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit, a totally improvised, totally hilarious murder mystery where killing the cast and cracking the case is in your hands. Expect shaky alibis and silver – tongued sleuths along with thrills, spills, and good old – fashioned kills. Four characters board a train, but not everyone will survive…

Thankfully, a world – famous detective is onboard, ready to solve the case . But who is the murderer? Only one person in the show knows – the murderer themselves! Can you help the detective solve the case? Using audience stories and suggestions, watch Pinch Punch create a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated whodunnit.

If you love comedy or murder mysteries, then this is the show for you!

Cally Beaton: Namaste Motherf*ckers

Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention – taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers.

A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more. The show celebrated an Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 sell-out, and it will include a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too).

‘Sprightly wit and considerable storytelling prowess’ ★★★★ The Scotsman
‘Original and clever’★★★★ The Arts Desk – pick of the Edinburgh Fringe
‘Gripping, perceptive and uplifting’ – Chortle
‘Exciting and hilarious talent…she’s got it’ – Time Out
