“INGENIOUSLY CHAOTIC...IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD, HARD LAUGH AND A TOUCH OF ESCAPISM THEN THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU” 5 Stars - Theatre Weekly (August 2023)

Brendan Murphy is delighted to announce that the tour of Award Winning Buffy Revamped is to be extended yet again in 2024 due to its popularity at venues throughout the UK and Ireland and in Toronto and America.  This hugely popular, award-winning show based lovingly on the iconic 90s TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer has garnered critical acclaim across the board including for a second Edinburgh Festival Fringe season where it was recognised as the best-reviewed comedy show of the entire 2023 Fringe by The British Comedy Guide.

“FANGTASTICALLY GOOD!” 5 Stars - West End Best Friend (August 2023)

In this fast-paced new production we bring you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike.

Funny, satirical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.

“AN EXPERTLY EXECUTED DEEP-DIVE INTO SEVEN SEASONS OF A CULT CLASSIC.” 5 Stars - Fringe Biscuit (August 2023)
