Starring the not-so-good doctor and an all-sorts assortment of spooky performers! There'll be laughs and scares galore as anything goes in this madcap hour of madness!

From the mind of critically acclaimed comedian Eliott Simpson comes this new nightmarish masterpiece! After a successful SOLD OUT run at the 2022 Edinburgh Horror Festival, Dr. Bonk has now set his sights on the Banshee Labyrinth yet again, with a whole new host of horrors to play with!

Join the undead plague Doctor, Dr. Bonk, his unseen ghostly narrator, and his sinister selection of spine-chilling acts! Different every month!
