Listing admin
A comic tour of the medieval world with daft professor of medieval studies Luke Connell and his games, props and songs. Get to know creatures like sea-centipedes and manticores, dogs with names like Havegoodday, and characters like Eilmer the flying monk. Discover the old world's taste in tourist tat and, expect to leave convinced that medieval medicine was better than the modern kind. Or maybe not. 'A lovely stage presence... this is awesome" (One4Review.co.uk). As heard on BBC Radio 4's In Our Time.

A Fringe Quickie (#42) with 'Bloody Marvellous: A Comedy Show about the Middle Ages'
If your show walked into a bar, what would it order? "Mead so it could drink like a medieval monk. Monks drank a lot!"
