Town Gardens Bowl, 3rd May — Get ready for an evening of intrigue, laughter, and deadly deception. The Locomotive for Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit arrives at the Town Gardens Bowl on 3rd May. It’s part of a special celebration marking the venue’s 90th anniversary.
Presented by …
Presented by acclaimed improv company Pinch Punch, this unique theatrical experience invites audiences aboard a train journey. One where not everyone will make it to the final stop. Combining razor-sharp comedy with classic murder mystery tropes, the show is e improvised in its entirety. So no two performances are ever the same.
Hailed as ‘a first class improvised murder mystery with hilarious performances’ (★★★★★ The Reviews Hub), the production puts the audience at the heart of the action. Using live suggestions, the cast creates a brand-new whodunnit each night. All complete with suspicious passengers, dubious alibis and a detective determined to crack the case.
But there’s a twist: only one person on stage knows the identity of the killer—and that’s the murderer themselves.
As the mystery unfolds, audiences must work alongside the detective to:
- piece together clues
- interrogate suspects …
- …and unmask the culprit before they strike again.
Running at approximately 60 minutes (with an optional 90-minute version including interval), the show is suitable for ages 10+. It features comedic depictions of murder, audience interaction, innuendo and occasional strong language.
This special performance forms part of the Town Gardens Bowl’s 90th anniversary celebrations. It brings a fresh and playful twist to the historic venue’s milestone year.
All aboard—if you dare!
