Hull - True Crime Night - Around the world in 80 slays…

Venue & ticket info

Storyteller Adrian Finney is back on tour in 2027 with a whole new set of true crime cases! Expect shocking tales & plenty of humour A Very Violent Valentines: Around the World in 80 Slays Forget the chocolates. Forget the roses. This Valentine’s Day, Strange Britain is taking you on a rather more murderous kind of romantic getaway. A Very Violent Valentines: Around the World in 80 Slays marks acclaimed storyteller Adrian Finney’s fifth True Crime Special. And this time he’s planning to take you on a journey into the darker corners of the international crime world, uncovering stories of serial killers, murderers and extraordinary crimes that have remained largely unknown to English-speaking audiences. From notorious killers with names you may recognise to cases that have barely registered outside their home countries, we’ll be (metaphorically) travelling around the world in search of some of the strangest, most disturbing, and downright bizarre true crime cases. Expect killers, victims, investigations, disappearances, unlikely twists and the occasional moment where you are guaranteed to find yourself thinking, “How on earth have I never heard of this?!” And because this is Strange Britain, it won’t be a solemn lecture. Expect plenty of comedy, along with fascinating history and razor sharp storytelling, adding some much needed levity to the serious reality behind the crimes. So pack your metaphorical suitcase, leave your moral compass at home, and join Adrian Finney for a Valentine’s Day journey where the only thing getting murdered is the romance. You may never look at international travel in quite the same way again… All shows: Doors 6:45PM - Start Time: 7:30PM Approx Duration: 2 hours Tickets: £10 Earlybird Offer (Valid up to 2 weeks before the show) - £12 Regular Price - Booking Fees Apply Venues: Thursday 28th January - LIVERPOOL - The Vernon Arms Wednesday 3rd February - BIRMINGHAM - The Victoria Thursday 4th February - BRISTOL - The Eldon House Tuesday 9th February - NOTTINGHAM - Barley Twist Thursday 11th February - LEEDS - Crowd of Favours Saturday 13th February - SHEFFIELD - Sheffield Plate Tuesday 16th February - YORK - House of Trembling Madness Wednesday 17th February - GATESHEAD - Station East Tuesday 23rd February - HULL - The White Hart Wednesday 24th February - MANCHESTER - The Peer Hat Wednesday 3rd March - LEICESTER - Firebug Thursday 4th March - LINCOLN - The Victoria (Hopefully) More cities & venues to follow… About Adrian Finney Adrian Finney is a Sheffield-based author, storyteller and founder of Strange Britain, best known for his acclaimed ghost tours and true crime events.
