About the show
Damp is a dark comedy with live music from AMTP LTD, set in the Rock pub in the fictional town of Lochhaven. A group of misfits find themselves trapped together during a storm with no escape, while the walls — quite literally — are talking. The show mixes tales and stories, a strange black slime, spooky songs, supernatural goings-on, drinking, insults, a spot of Monopoly, the odd jump scare and a sacrificial death. The central question: can this unlikely group of idiots work out the antidote to the damp? The show runs 50 minutes and carries warnings for strobe lighting and strong language.
Why see this show?
A pub setting, a storm, a mysterious slime and a Monopoly board — Damp sets up an absurd premise and commits to it with dark comedy and live music. Good fun for anyone who enjoys their horror with a healthy dose of chaos.
