Soho Theatre · London

A former priest checks into a remote hotel looking for a quiet night and finds a ghost, a deeply suspicious manager and rather more supernatural activity than the brochure suggested.

The story

Crybabies' Michael Clarke, James Gault and Ed Jones turn the horror film into a one-hour narrative sketch comedy. Former priest Arthur Holland is pulled back towards the supernatural when he meets Gerry, the ghost of a long-dead hotel guest, and begins investigating what is really happening under the watch of the unsettling Mr Lyle.

In the room

A fast-moving horror spoof packed with multi-roling, physical comedy, visual tricks and increasingly ridiculous supernatural threats. Jon Brittain directs a production that borrows from haunted-house films, possession stories and slasher movies while still giving its story about fear, grief and moving on somewhere to land.

Good fit if you like

narrative sketch comedy, horror parodies, elaborate visual gags, performers switching rapidly between characters and shows that can deliver a proper jump scare immediately before a very silly joke.
