Following a highly anticipated return to Edinburgh Fringe (after being nominated for the Newcomer Award in 2019) Huge Davies (Cats Does Countdown, Roast Battle) has announced he’ll be performing his critically acclaimed show, Whodunnit, downstairs at Soho Theatre from Tuesday 27th February to Saturday 2nd March.
Tickets on general sale from 10am available here
In this new thrilling ride, Huge takes on the classic role of determined detective using all of his wits to solve the murder mystery at hand. Wearable keyboard? Check! Deadpan delivery? Check! Jokes about murder? Absolutely check! This is silly, hi-jinx comedy. With his quick wit, dark humour and surreal material, Huge will guide audiences through the show as they encounter a maze of clues and red herrings and try to uncover the identity of a killer.
Creator, writer and star of Channel 4 sitcom The Artists, Huge, known for his deadpan delivery whilst wearing a full-sized customised keyboard strapped to himself, has quickly risen to become one of the most unique and captivating acts in the UK.
His previous show The Carpark transferred to Soho Theatre and was featured in Time Out as the Number 1 Comedy Show to See. Following excessive demand, it was given three extra runs and filmed by LA based production company 800 Pound Gorilla Media which was released in July 2023.
As well as his own sitcom, Huge regularly appears on our screens, appearances include 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Harry Hill’s Clubnite, Roast Battle, Jools Holland, Hypothetical, Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club, Live at the Comedy Store, Comedians Giving Lectures and The Stand Up Sketch Show. Huge has also worked as a writer for Never Mind The Buzzcocks & Famalam, is a regular performer on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and co-hosts live podcast The Film Quiz with fellow comic Nick Helm.
