Who Killed The Plot? is a completely improvised murder mystery from Who killed the Plot? / Free Festival, performed at the Main Room as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 60-minute show mixes long form narrative with short form games, combining dodgy accents, on-the-spot plot twists and no script whatsoever. The result is pure, chaotic, improvised comedy — a whodunnit that not even the performers know in advance. Entry is free, and the show is 18+. Content warnings include scenes of violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
An improvised murder mystery where the performers are as clueless as the audience — the plot is invented entirely in the moment from a mix of long form narrative and short form games. Free to attend, gleefully chaotic, and different every night.
