Lucy Henderson has been murdered. But by whom? And with what weapon? In which room?This interactive live comedy takes audiences through Lucy's personal version of classic murder-mystery game Cluedo to uncover the clues to solve the crime - each room, weapon and suspect having a hilarious story behind them.Created by the Winner of Powerbomb Comedy's 2022 Joke Off Competition, this show's a strong contender for the Fringe's highest rate of LPMs (Laughs Per Minute) and guaranteed highest CPMs (Clues Per Minute).On the back of sold-out shows at Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festival as well as Perth, Adelaide and Sydney Fringe, it's worth rolling the dice on this rising star of the Australian comedy scene while you can, Edinburgh. This show has received raging reviews receiving five stars from Auscast Network. TheatreTravels.org confirms this hour with Lucy makes "a fun night out".

August 8, 2024  One4Review | | | Australian performer Lucy Henderson excels in this remake of the popular 80’s board game Cluedo. The game play is similar to the original game however the characters, location and murder weapons have been changed.Lucy has been murdered but her ghost has returned for one hour to try and leave enough clues for the audience to solve her murder. On arrival, the audience are given a clipboard and clue sheet so they can jot down any clues they pick up during the performance in the hope they can solve the murder at the end. The game rules are then explained before audience members are asked to select a suspect, location or murder weapon and Lucy then tells a story relating to which ever one has been selected.There is an adult theme throughout the performance with references to drugs and sexual encounters, but the references are mostly tongue in cheek and often funny. At the end of the show the audience are asked who they think is responsible for the murder, where it happened and what weapon was used, once the result is revealed, Lucy looks back at the clues the audience should have found during the performance.The idea of turning a popular board game into a stage performance is brilliant, however you really need to pay attention to detail to find the clues as its too easy to get wrapped up in the story and miss the key evidence.A very confident and quirky performance from a talented young female. You do not need to have played the original game to understand it, you just need to put your detective head on, solve the murder and have a laugh at the same time! Click Here |
