Ever sick of paying rent? It’s as bad as burning money; we gotta spend it just to survive but it’s not as if it’s invested for your future or paying your mortgage – when it’s gone it’s gone, and you’re gonna have to surrender the same amount (if not more) much too soon, all to likely pay someone else’s mortgage!

The housing situation is crazy, but you know what’s even crazier? Getting away with murder! And that’s exactly what Raskolnikov tried to get away with in Crime and Punishment; living in 19th Century Russia as he did of course the housing crisis wasn’t quite so pressing, but if he were alive today you can be damned sure he wouldn’t take kindly to the horrors of the contemporary renting landscape.

And what if we did have a contemporary Raskolnikov? And what if he shared a flat with a hustler crypto bro (🤑) and a vegan yoga instructor (🧘)? Finally, what if together, with all their powers combined, they’re less Jack The Ripper and more Kevin McAllister from Home Alone?

These are the important questions that our wild new play How To Kill Your Landlord posits, creating a recipe for hilarity as much as murder. We’re on for a full-run at Edinburgh Fringe from 30th July – 25th August in the wonderful Bedlam Theatre @5pm every day. Come on down to help kickstart the revolution, just make sure your landlord doesn’t find out 🤫

You can catch How To Kill Your Landlord from July 30th to August 24th (not the 11th or 18th) at Bedlam Theatre from 17:00 (60mins). Tickets (£10 / £7 conc. / £5 family) are available through the EdFringe Online Box Office.
