The first Uncanny live stage show I KNOW WHAT I SAW was one of the best-selling paranormal shows in theatre history.
Now, Danny Robins and his team of experts are back with A BRAND-NEW SHOW for 2025, with thrillingly new and terrifying real-life stories and witness accounts that will have you utterly gripped.
This is NOT an ordinary podcast show. This is story-telling and paranormal investigation at its peak. Using a unique backdrop of sound, video projection and theatrical magic, Danny will bring to life accounts of hauntings, apparitions, poltergeists, UFOs and events that seem to defy logical explanation, examining them with the help of experts Ciarán O’Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow and input from you, the audience, as you get the chance to share your theories and your own experiences.
As always, whether you are Team Sceptic, Team Believer or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome.
So... do you have a fear of the dark?
Or are you brave enough to try to solve these chilling, intriguing mysteries?
