About Kirsty Mann
Kirsty Mann: Corpse is a real-life ghost story performed by Kirsty Mann at the Red Lecture Theatre. Kirsty bought a house — derelict, in a dodgy area, and with someone having just died in it — and did not mind at first, because she did not believe in ghosts. She does now. The show blends comedy and horror in a theatre setting, running for 60 minutes. It is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over, with tickets starting from £10.
Why see this show?
A ghost story that is also a comedy — and genuinely unsettling. Kirsty Mann's real-life account of her haunted house purchase is told with wit and mounting dread, making for a show that is just as much fun to laugh at as it is to be frightened by.
