Monster Mayhem! by The Fighting Nightingales

Here be monsters!

The Fighting Nightingales return with another delightfully absurd evening of history, myth, music and mayhem as the infamous 17th-century rogue academic Professor Edvard von Goosechaser presents his annual lecture on all things supernatural.

Discover what happened when a mighty Roman army came face to face with a terrifying water dragon. Learn how a disgraced Irish monk supposedly defeated the Loch Ness Monster. Uncover why a poodle may have been the most feared creature in 17th-century Europe. And perhaps most importantly of all, decide whether you'd rather go on a date with Sinbad the Sailor or Circe the Sorceress.

Joined by his mysterious musical companion Marco, the Professor will attempt to answer these vital questions through a whirlwind of folklore, monsters, history and comedy.
