This Place Smells Like Murder: A Sketch Show in Two Acts

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Casanova Philandero, tennis pro and ladies man, was murdered on Valentine’s Day, 1985. But the case was never closed…

Join world-class detectives, shifty suspects, and jilted lovers as they attempt to untangle a decades-old mystery over two acts of outrageous sketch comedy.

Directed by Barney Pollock (Thank God You’re Here, Something Good, White Fever) and performed by some of Australia’s brightest comedic talent, this is one case you won’t want to crack.

Written by sketch comedians Eliza McPhail and Lindsay Evergreen.
