Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

Do you like mysteries? Do you like historical inaccuracies? Do you know the difference between Thomas More and Roger Moore? Read on! Great British Mysteries return to Mach following another sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe. This is the follow-up to the company’s debut show from 2017. But set 400 years earlier. Confused? You will be. In this edition, mystery-hunters Olive and Teddy become embroiled with witches, haunted houses, and the scent of Cardinal Wolsey’s conscience. It’s like The Woman in Black meets Keystage Two Tudor history. Expect multi-roling, homemade sound effects and more gags than Henry VIII had wives. Seven?

‘Gloriously silly, wonderfully observed’ (Time Out)

‘The choice one-liners keep coming’ (Guardian)

Restoration Levy – £1.50 of the advertised on-sale ticket price goes to Machynlleth Comedy Festival for the continued development and improvement of the event.
