ABOUT THE SHOW

Heeeeeeere’s Crybabies.

When a former priest checks into a remote hotel, he soon discovers that all is not as it screams (seems).

Join the Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated sketch group and ‘masters of the craft’ (Guardian) for a terrifying tale about fear, faith, fathers (dads), fathers (priests), fantoms (phantoms) and finally moving on.
