Tilted presents a brand new Uncanny stage show, Uncanny: Fear of the Dark, which visits Mayflower Theatre on 22 March 2026.
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 all-new, thrillingly terrifying, real-life stories and witness accounts that will have audiences utterly gripped.
This is no ordinary podcast show. This is story-telling and paranormal investigation at its peak.
With a backdrop of spine-tingling sound design, 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, psychologist, Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe ,and writer and parapsychologist, Evelyn Hollow – with input from audiences who will get the chance to ask questions, come up with theories and share their own potentially paranormal experiences.
As always, whether you are team sceptic, team believer or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome.
So the question is: ‘Are you afraid of the dark?
Or are you brave enough to try to solve these chilling, intriguing mysteries?’
Uncanny: Fear of the Dark is written and performed by Danny Robins, creator of the hugely successful BBC Radio 4 podcasts and global hits, Uncanny, The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm, the BBC TV series Uncanny and the award-winning West End play, 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
“Taking Uncanny on the road and meeting thousands of fans over the last two years has been thrilling for me,” explains Danny. “So it’s great to be hitting the road again.
“If you love ghost stories and want to try and make sense of these strange mysteries, we can promise you a fun, thought-provoking, scare-filled night out. Across the podcast, TV series and live show, there’s been no shortage of new stories to tell. Each case is hand-picked for the format and the atmosphere at the live shows has been electric.
“I can’t wait to welcome people back, as well as inviting new audiences along for the ride.”
Uncanny: Fear of the Dark is directed by Sam Hodges (Brown Girls Do It Too (Soho/UK tour) for Tilted, The Shadow Factory, (Nuffield Southampton Theatres)).
“With live podcast shows on the rise, what makes Tilted’s approach unique is creating shows that are inherently theatrical, playful and interactive, and, with the help of a brilliant design team, the extraordinary stories that Uncanny features offer a unique opportunity to do just that,” adds Sam.
The recommended age limit is 12+ but parental discretion is advised, and the running time is 2hrs 20 minutes, including interval.
