Sinister Scenes + Vampire Bat

SINISTER SCENES FROM SIX FEET UNDER!

Hello. And be welcome! Friends, old and new.

Please envision, if you will, a cemetery. A dark, dire little cemetery, forgotten by the world and hidden deep within the wilderness. And in the centre of this cemetery, encircled by tombstones and gloom, sits a crypt. A crypt of macabre design and structure, built for a single, sinister purpose: to forever house the chattering cadavers of the world’s greatest, spookiest improvisational comedians! That’s right, rats and rogues! Welcome to THE TOMB OF DEAD IMPROVISERS! Forever unliving, and forever unscripted!

And in this mirthful mausoleum, one may also find its keeper. A glib, ghoulish guardian, forever shambling through its many pits and passages. THE FRIENDLY HOST! Who wants nothing more than to corner you, entrap you, and enthral you all with tales! Torrid, terrible tales! Tales inspired by suggestions from YOU, o captive audience, and all of your many fears, flaws and failings!

And as our Friendly Host regales you with these tales, born from the most cobwebbed corners of your hearts, a cast made of spirits of the crypt’s long-dead improvisers will bring these stories to life in terrifying displays of (“shudder!”) improvisational storytelling!

So, plighted patrons. Try not to flinch. Don’t attempt to flee. And please hold on to your minds with both hands as you try to endure SINISTER SCENES FROM SIX FEET UNDER!

A spine-tingling showcase of unscripted longform comedy-horror storytelling! Performed by the gleeful dead and inspired by the fearful living! Stay and watch, if you dare, dear spectators. But be warned! The stories may be improvised, but the fear… the fear is very much real!

CONTENT WARNING: Themes of Horror, Violence and Death.

CAST: Andy Smith, Bec Foley, Genevieve Kaiser, Max Maverick Collins, Mikey Burford, Millsya Theda Wongso, Simon Arthur.

Vampire Bat

Vampires long for the dark of the night and they’re bringing the audience with them. This Friday the 13th, we follow a vampire clan as they navigate life, love and eternal powers beyond the ken of mere mortals.

Vampire Bat is inspired by shows like What We Do In The Shadows and will be performed entirely* in the dark by a talented comedic cast.

*There may be some lights, but we encourage the audience to close their eyes for the full experience. Or don’t. We can’t tell you what to do.

Cast: Chris Atwell, Jess Allen, Jordana Wegman, Nat Jensen, Rachel Alexander, and Steph Ryan

Musical accompaniment: David Piper

Director and producer: Jess Allen

Venue: Mini Theatre
