Do you believe in the afterlife? No? You will. CORPSE is a gripping account of a haunting told by one comedian, based on a true story. The show blends comedy, campfire-style storytelling and horror. Described as "The Woman in Black meets Catherine Tate" (The Fourth Wall), you will laugh at the start, scream at the end, and leave wondering… do ghosts exist after all? A young couple buy their dream home at a suspiciously low price, brushing off warning signs in favour of optimism, until strange occurrences begin to escalate… Originally performed as a work-in-progress at Summerhall in 2025, CORPSE has undergone major development since, including a run at Adelaide Fringe in early 2026, where it won Best Theatre and received multiple five-star reviews. This Edinburgh run finally marks the fully realised version. Blending comedy with horror, it offers a genre-bending experience rooted in a true story, further distinguished by Kirsty Mann’s unique perspective as a doctor. Staged at Summerhall - reportedly home to 7 ghosts - the show’s setting adds an extra layer of intrigue and atmosphere.
