Stand Up Horror features improvised, macabre tales featuring (voluntary!) members of the audience as Alex leads you in a tale across the city facing ghosts... or zombies.... or witches... or all...!? You get to make suggestions and help guide the adventure and determine if you live... or DIE! Mwuhahaha

Every night is different and every night is horrifically hilarious. A twice-monthly event in Scotland's MOST HAUNTED PUB, come along and experience the unique, and hilarious Stand-up Horror.

"Fielding suggestions from the audience, the actor, story-teller ... will spin a tale of terror and laughter from scratch. Expect “gory-telling” at its finest in the perfect location." - The Wee review
