‘Sects and Violence' - a historical comedy by Adam Nightingale

Historical comedy character Professor Edvard Von Goosechaser entertained the crowds at the Priory last year with his '17th Century Show', and now he is coming back with a new hilarious hellraising lecture on all things supernatural - 'Sects and Violence'

The subject is mad prophets, prophetesses and crazy 17th century cult leaders and, throughout the course of the evening, the Professor will take audience members on a laugh-out-loud journey, exploring the prophet with the most ridiculous name, how eating a raw potato could bring you closer to God, and the catastrophic curse wars that erupted between two cults and one fledgling religion.

A favourite segment of previous performances has been the 17th century themed dating game 'Bed Wed Behead' and audiences will once again be treated to this hilarious interactive experience with accompaniment from Goosechaser’s mysterious musical companion Marco.

The show is suitable for age 12+
