Daniel Nicholas: Art To Die For
There's been a murder at the new art gallery Mayfield. The night after it's grand opening, the artistic director has been found dead in a room that can only be locked from the inside – but the killer has vanished. A real murder mystery.
Daniel 'Should have a future in comedy' (Chortle, in 2013) Nicholas has spent the last year reading Agatha Christie, Japanese locked room mysteries and thinking about Daniel Craig's accent in Knives out. Now all this research has come together in this interactive and hilarious murder mystery show where you help find the one 'whodunit'.
