Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Intriguing absurdist one-woman experimental theatre taking a hatchet to online troll culture through funeral garb and interactive ritual. Definitely one for the morbidly curious underground-theatre buffs (sign us up). "

When the video leaked, fracturing the wholesome image she had so delicately crafted, Petunia's thousands of followers quickly disposed of any loyalty they had towards her.
Distraught at her perceived dishonesty and outraged at the torrent of vile abuse, she took action.
To fight for the right to be complex, to evaporate the cloud of shame choking her, and to envision a future worth living for, Petunia did the only thing that seemed sensible; she invited the trolls to her funeral.
Watch Me Die is a twisted and absurd one-woman comedy theatre spectacle that playfully explores the phenomenon of online shaming. Set entirely within a funeral, it blends interactive ritual with physical theatre and a smattering of sardonic humour to allow us to laugh and sit with the insanity of our attempts to tik-tok our way to authenticity.
Join Public Weird for a night of entertainment at the Loco Klub! Each night there will be a fantastic warm-up act showcasing the best of Bristol's underground performance and theatre talent.
Doors 7pm
Gurt Haunted 7:30pm
Interval 8:00pm
Watch Me Die 8:15pm
Suggested age: 16+
Trigger warnings: Mention of suicide, sexual references, and drug use.
WaARM UP ACT: ‘GURT HAUNTED’
Most Haunted Live meets This Country in this part-improvised, part-devised, fully Bristolian comedy thriller.
Known worldwide for its historic landmarks, eerie pubs and disappearing bus services, Bristol is the paranormal hotspot of the South West.
From the SS Great Britain… to Asda in Bemmie. You can’t escape it. Bristol is haunted… Gurt Haunted.
Sir Francis Hailbop and his team of world-renowned spiritualists, mediums and ‘professional investigators’ need your help to put the spirits of Bristol to rest.
(Or at least get some footage for their newest TV series.)
Join us in this participatory, paranormal parody that will undoubtedly leave you pondering: Am I a true believer… or have I just had one too many ciders?
