Welcome back to Murder Village - population decreasing…

Prepare to step into the world of a 1950s Agatha Christie murder mystery. Find out about our shows here.

At a Murder Village show, you will encounter a colourful cast of eccentrics each more suspicious than the last, each played by some of the best improvising comedians from The Big HOO-HAA! Melbourne, Impro Melbourne and Impromptunes. They’re trapped in a hilarious off-the-cuff mystery so fiendish, only a genius could work out whodunnit. The local police inspector may be incompetent, but luckily there always seems to be a nearby amateur sleuth with twinkling eyes who has a few theories...

A hilarious piece of theatre. We shouldn’t be enjoying murder so much.
— Scenestr
Highly recommended – silly, clever, unexpected, the audience was glued to their seats for the whole 60 minutes. See it at least once!
— POP CULTURE-Y
An evening where revelling in death and murder is turned into wholesome fun.
— Stage Whispers
This would easily be the most polished improv I have ever seen. The actors are committed and quick-witted while the music and atmosphere created really set a scene. If you are in the mood for a joyous bloodstained ride with a dash of old-timey charm, this one is for you.
