Reverend Matt’s acclaimed series of comedy lectures returns to CONsole Room! Many of the monsters of Doctor Who are original – but many are also based on our world’s mythology. Learn about Who’s alien versions of mythological dragons and gorgons, horror-classic werewolves and vampires, unexplained-phenomena grey aliens and Nessies, and many more! Plus jokes! And PowerPoint!
Death! Many people would rather not be involved with it. And Reverend Matt’s one-man show “How To Come Back From The Dead” will give you the tips, tricks and techniques you need to defy it, returning as a brain-eating zombie, a restless ghost, a chocolate-cereal-mongering vampire, or any of countless much, much weirder things from mythology, cinema, and cartoon advertising! Don’t return from the grave as a shambling mockery of life without seeing this show!
