The Vampire Run is an interactive comedy horror show from Jonathan Laury, performed at Basement during Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Why see this show?
A genuinely participatory show that turns the audience into the players — fast, funny, and death-prone. If you like the idea of a comedy game show set inside a horror scenario, this is designed exactly for you.
