About the show

Pete Mitchelson presents The Moon Pact Trial, a free one-man comedy horror theatre show at Chamber Room as part of PBH's Free Fringe. A struggling actor tries to make a comeback and is cast in a play about an outsider sacrificed in an occult ritual. On opening night he meets a fan who takes him on a Lovecraftian journey through witchcraft and sex cults. The show runs for 60 minutes, is for audiences aged 18 and over, and includes audience participation, scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.

Why see this show?

A free one-man comedy horror with a clever meta conceit — an actor playing a role that starts to consume him. Darkly funny, strange and grounded in Lovecraftian atmosphere, it is a strong choice for adventurous late-night audiences.
