Updated: Feb 10



Pinch Punch are back to welcome you aboard Locomotive for Murder, an improvised comedy murder-mystery where killing the cast and cracking the case is in your hands. Expect outrageous accents and shaky alibis! Four characters board a train but not everyone will survive. Thankfully, a world-famous detective is ready to solve the case. But who is the murderer? Only one person knows: the murderer themselves. Using audience suggestions and stories, Pinch Punch create a never-to-be-repeated whodunnit. If you love comedy or murder mysteries then this is the show for you!

Sam (Age 11) - ★★★★★★

"This is the no.1 funniest improv of the fringe! And it has guarantee to have the best character personalities and designs of any comedy show in Edinburgh, and with some of the best quick witted comedy that is unforgettable!"


Jan (Age 13) - ★★★★★

"This is the first improv show I have ever watched, and I loved it! This was really interactive, there were so many great ideas coming from the audience, and the actors made those ideas into a whole show! The characters, the suspect, and the person who died were all chosen by the audience.


There wasn't much of a set; just 4 seats for each of the passengers, and a rack full of different costumes. The actors made some brilliant costumes out of this.


I loved the characters; Lady Epsum, Mr. Woody Wind, Reedy Records, Carl Bonara, and the detective, Hugh Dunnit. Each of these characters had a funny back story and a deep secret. These characters (apart from the detective) were all chosen by the audience. My favourite character was Carl Bonara, the Welsh-Italian food critic, who can't cook for himself and loves olive oil.


Overall, this show was brilliant! It is super funny, and great to watch."
