Back for day two of Jack the Ripper: From Hell to Belfast at the Etcetera Theatre Camden! 🩸

It’s always exciting, but sad, delivering my Ripper talk in the city where the murders took place.

In memoriam: Polly, Annie, Liz, Catherine, Mary. 🖤

Last night, Castleblayney… Today, Camden. I’ll sleep when I’m dead! 🪦

I’m holding court now in the Etcetera Theatre Camden all afternoon - Burke & Hare at 1pm, Jack the Ripper at 3pm. Same again tomorrow and Tuesday.💀

Any friends/enemies in the area, feel free to join me in the dark! 🌚

👻 CASTLEBLAYNEY, YOU’VE BEEN SPOOKED! 👻

The audience for my first ever gig in County Monaghan could not have been nicer. 🖤

Thank you so much to all who came along. It was my pleasure sharing the ghost stories with you and chatting with you afterwards. 🙏

It was also my great honour to tread boards previously trod by the one and only Derek Acorah! 😛

The Iontas Theatre is a fantastic venue and I hope to return next year. 🤞

But now, it’s time for another drive home in the dead of night. There’s a 7am flight with my name in it, for tomorrow I hit the Camden Horror Fest! 😱

I used to live in Larne for a while in the ‘90s, so I’m always delighted to return to deliver Terror Talks at Larne Museum and Arts Centre Official. 🖤

After a fantastic evening with Burke & Hare in July, it was my pleasure tonight to present Eerieland: Ghost Stories of the North of Ireland to another full house. 👻

Thank you, everyone, for coming and for all the kind words afterwards. Thanks also to the tireless Marian and her team for putting it all together (not least the tea and biscuits). 🙏

Willie had a fun time resting his weary bones on some of the vintage seating stored onsite by Larne Drama Circle, before being hauled to his rightful position on stage! 💀

I’ll be back at Larne Museum in May with Vaimpír: Bram Stoker & the Irish Roots of Dracula. Stay tuned for the gory details! 🧛‍♂️

💀 THANK YOU, ANTRIM! 💀

When I started the Terror Talks just last March, little could I have believed that barely a year and a half later, I’d be taking the stage of The Old Courthouse, Antrim to regale the story of Burke & Hare to a packed crowd in my childhood hometown. 😎

It’s absolutely mad, but also beautiful and exciting, and I appreciate each and every one of you for coming out to see the show, especially on such a wild night. 🖤

Thanks also to all the amazing staff at the theatre, who made my visit so pleasant and enjoyable. 🙏

I will be back at the Old Courthouse on Tuesday 25th May 2027 with Vaimpír: Bram Stoker & the Irish Roots of Dracula, marking 130 years of this immortal masterpiece. Tix on sale soon! 🩸

🔥 TOUR-TURE WEEK ONE DONE! 🔥

Big thanks to everyone who came to the Sunflower Public House & Live Music tonight for our latest Terror Talk - Ban This Sick Filth! A History of the War on Horror. 🙏

It’s always fun getting a new talk up and running, and it was as fascinating as ever putting this one together. From Socrates to the Spanish Inquisition, Spring-Heeled Jack to A Serbian Film, what a wild tale! 😱

We’re back to Burke & Hare tomorrow at The Old Courthouse, Antrim, then it’s Eerieland on Friday at Larne Museum and Arts Centre Official. See you out there! 🤘
