About the show

How To Kill Your Landlord is a comedy theatre show by DBN Productions at Bedlam Theatre. It follows three young housemates: Burke, a former student activist living from paycheck to paycheck; Harriet, a freelance yoga instructor trying to corner the yummy mummy market; and Joq, a crypto bro forever on the hunt for his next side hustle. United only by their contempt for their chauvinistic landlord Archie, who has just decided to evict them, the trio take their lead from Crime and Punishment and hatch dark plans — with hilarious and deadly consequences. The show runs for 60 minutes and carries warnings for strobe lighting and strong language.

Why see this show?

A sharp comic take on the rental crisis that puts three very different people in the same terrible situation. DBN Productions squeeze sharp laughs and surprisingly dark drama out of a premise anyone renting in the UK will recognise immediately.
