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

Actor, writer and tour guide Alex Staniforth invents a horror story every night. You decide what the characters do, find and sometimes - yes sometimes - even love. 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

Ticket Policy:

Tickets are Your Ticket, Your Choice. Due to the venue's capacity, in the event of a sell-out, spaces will only be held for five minutes after the show start time, at which point any non-reserved audiences will be admitted and you risk losing your place. The venue is open from 5pm.

The show is strictly over 18s only. Photography is permitted but not flash photography or video recording. Tickets are non-refundable except where the event is cancelled.
