This Malcolm Hardee Award-winning show returns for a second year, polished as ever but still performed nightly with full-on commitment to the cause of retelling The Evil Dead II through the songs of Elvis. Rob Kemp's creation is absolutely niche, yet accessible, and remarkably funny.
The multi award-winning Fringe cult hit is back. Rev up the Delta and come on a trip to a cabin in Tennessee, to witness the classic horror movie Evil Dead 2 reinterpreted through the songs of Elvis Presley. Best Show: Leicester Comedy Festival 2017. Best Musical Show: Leicester Comedy Festival 2017. Best Newcomer (nominee): Edinburgh Comedy Award 2017. Award for Comic Originality (winner): Malcolm Hardee Awards 2017. Outstanding Show (winner): Amused Moose Edinburgh 2017. Best Performer: Comedians' Choice Awards Edinburgh 2017. 'Twisted genius' **** (Sunday Times). 'Very funny' ***** (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). 'Genius' **** (Fest).
