‘A first-class improvised murder mystery with hilarious performances’
The Reviews Hub

Mesdames and messieurs, may I take your tickets please?

Pinch Punch welcome you aboard Locomotive for Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit, a totally improvised, totally outrageous murder mystery where killing the cast and cracking the case is in your hands. Expect dubious accents and shaky alibis, along with thrills, spills, and good old-fashioned kills.

Four characters board a train, but not everyone will survive… thankfully, a world-famous detective is onboard, ready to solve the case.

But who is the murderer? Only one person in the show knows — the murderer themselves! Can you help the detective solve the case?

Using audience stories and suggestions, watch Pinch Punch create a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-repeated whodunnit. If you love comedy or murder mysteries, then this is the show for you!
