About Four Presidents
Every Ghost Story Ever is a comedy horror show from Four Presidents, performed by Billy Bones at Wee Container 1 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is a whistle-stop tour of ghost stories from throughout the ages — from the first ghost story ever written, to the true tale of Arthur Conan Doyle speaking from beyond the grave, to accounts of the hauntings of Edinburgh's own Greyfriars Kirkyard. It asks why we tell ghost stories and what makes us truly afraid — with a sense of humour firmly in tow. The show runs for 60 minutes. Tickets are £8. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A funny and genuinely unsettling tour through ghost story history, performed by a character who clearly loves the genre. Equal parts creepy and comic, with the bonus of Edinburgh's Greyfriars Kirkyard thrown in.
