Mesdames and Messieurs, may I take your tickets please?
Welcome aboard Locomotive for Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit, the totally improvised, totally hilarious murder mystery, where killing the cast and cracking the case is in your hands!
Now in their sixth year, Offie-nominated Edinburgh Fringe favourites, Pinch Punch, are bringing their five-star, sell-out show to the Redditch Palace Theatre. So, don your deerstalkers and oil your moustaches for a night of shaky alibis, silver-tongued sleuths, thrills, spills, and good old-fashioned kills.
Four characters board a train, but not everyone will survive…
Luckily, a world-famous detective is onboard, ready to root out the killer. But who is the murderer? Only one person knows—the murderer themselves! Can you put your wits to the test and solve the case?
Using real-life audience stories and suggestions, watch Pinch Punch create a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated whodunnit. If you love comedy or murder mysteries, then this is the show for you!
