It turns out visiting a horror-filled island is one of the funniest things you can do at this Fringe. Andrew Doherty's one-man play delivers a great story, packed with comic moments.
A sticky, spooky horror comedy about gender-reveal parties, demons from hell, and a Gay Witch Sex Cult (a sex cult for gay witches). 'A comedy masterclass' ***** (SpyInTheStalls.com). 'Had me in a perpetual chuckle... Andrew Doherty's performance is one of outstanding precision' ***** (AllThatDazzles.co.uk). 'Perfectly crafted and controlled' ****½ (LondonPubTheatres.com). 'The most I've laughed at a show, probably ever' (LostInTheatreland.co.uk). 'You're a part of something special by the end' (BingeFringe.com). London Pub Theatre Standing Ovation Award nominee. VAULT Origins Award nominee.
