There may also be a gun. The show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A student-written comedy séance that promises the unexpected at every turn. The sheer specificity of its warnings — a flying baby, roast beef, possibly a gun — suggests a show with genuine comic invention behind it.
