Necrophilia

After a very successful run for Melbourne Fringe in 2023 and being titled a 'Fringe Judge Pick', the cast will resurrect from the dead to revive Lincoln Vickery's dark comedy, Necrophilia.

A quick show's a good show and we pinky promise this one is short, sharp and will keep you on the edge of your seat and laughing the whole way through.

We invite you to have a peek inside the daily lives of three morgue employees, making dead bodies look "hot as shit."

Things are going well, the banter is ripe and a romance blossoms... before we learn that one of the employees has a strong attraction to the rotting corpses in the basement.

"Very cleverly written and performed, with a genius sense of comedic timing and narrative pacing. The humour came effortlessly through characterisation and delivery, and as someone who generally suffers through cringe/awkward comedy, I had a great time here. Overall a genuinely enjoyable show that I'd look forward to seeing further developments of." Melbourne Fringe Judge

"Incredibly funny show. Brilliant acting and a well-written plot. It is a must-see." Darby 

"Such a terrific play! It is thematically challenging and darkly hilarious. I found myself laughing for the whole hour." Lee

"This show was just brilliant! Funny, awkward and tense, I loved every minute." Harvey

"Funniest show at fringe. Was in love with the wit from start to finish with a surprisingly beautiful love story through line through the silly 10/10." Jackson

"Incredibly fun, high paced act with heaps of laughs. Great chemistry all round taking a taboo idea and making it super entertaining. Left wanting more." Alex

After selling out multiple shows at Melbourne Fringe, don't wait to book! You won't want to miss out on this deadly funny comedy.
