Uncanny: I Know What I Saw live paranormal show from Danny Robins back for UK tour

Uncanny: I Know What I Saw, created and performed by Danny Robins, is heading out on another big tour of the UK, including a date at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

From Danny Robins, the writer of smash-hit West End show 2:22 A Ghost Story – which is currently touring the UK, and podcasts The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm, Uncanny: I Know What I Saw is based on the award-winning Radio 4 podcast, and returns following its record-breaking, sell-out success last year.

The tour kicks off at Watford Palace Theatre on 23 May and continues through to 21 July 2024, including a date on 25 June 2024 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

In 2023, Danny asked the questions – do ghosts exists? And if not, why do people see them? 25,000 people joined him in theatres across the country in a bid to try and find answers, turning the show into the biggest live investigation into the paranormal ever.

The 2024 tour of Uncanny: I Know What I Saw will feature even more chilling, real-life contemporary stories of supernatural encounters experienced by ordinary people in ordinary places, brought to life on stage with thrilling theatrical invention and using exquisite sound, projection and video design.

Well-known resident experts from Team Believer and Team Sceptic, parapsychologists Evelyn Hollow, Deborah Hyde, Ciaran O’Keeffe and Chris French return to analyse and debate these strange, inexplicable, chilling events with Danny, with opportunities for audience members to interact and join the debate as well as sharing their own ghostly experiences.

Directed by Sam Hodges (Brown Girls Do It Too – Soho/UK tour) for Tilted, Uncanny: I Know What I Saw is designed by internationally acclaimed Linbury prize winner Zoe Hurwitz with lighting designed by Elliot Griggs, sound design by Alex Braithwaite, video projection by Zakk Hein and illusions by Sam Lupton.

Danny Robins said in a statement: “Taking Uncanny on the road in 2023 and meeting thousands of Uncanny fans, was thrilling to me. So thrilling in fact, that we are hitting the road again to visit some of towns and cities we didn’t reach in the Autumn and return to some places that sold out a bit too quickly first time around! Whether you are a Team Sceptic or Team Believer, if you love ghost stories and want to try and make sense of these strange mysteries, we can promise you a fun, thought-provoking, scare-filled night out as we bring some intriguing cases, never featured on TV or the podcast to life. And if you saw the show in 2023, we can promise you some brand new evidence and new witnesses this time around!”

Founder of the show’s producer Tilted, and the show’s director, Sam Hodges said: “With live podcast shows on the rise, what makes Tilted’s approach unique is creating shows that are inherently theatrical, playful and interactive, and, with the help of a brilliant design team, the extraordinary stories that Uncanny features offer a unique opportunity to do just that”.
