Chilling, real-life stories of the supernatural at Newcastle Theatre Royal

The UK’s most popular live paranormal tour - Uncanny: I Know What I Saw - is to visit Newcastle Theatre Royal for one night only on Saturday 6 July 2024 and will see creator Danny Robins make his debut at his hometown theatre.

The Newcastle born writer of 2:22 – A Ghost Story and creator of hit BBC podcast and TV series Uncanny is bringing the smash hit, sell-out stage show to Newcastle Theatre Royal as part of its UK tour following unprecedented popular demand last year.

In 2023, Danny asked the questions – do ghosts exist? And if not, why do people see them? 25,000 people joined him in theatres across the country, including Northern Stage, in a bid to try and find answers, turning the show into the biggest live investigation into the paranormal ever.

Uncanny: I Know What I Saw is an experience unlike any other stage show. It features chilling, real-life contemporary stories of supernatural encounters experienced by ordinary people in ordinary places, brought to life on stage with thrilling theatrical invention and exquisite sound, projections, and video design.

Danny Robins said ‘Taking Uncanny on the road in 2023 and meeting thousands of Uncanny fans, was thrilling to me. So thrilling in fact, that we are hitting the road again to visit towns and cities we didn’t reach in the Autumn and return to some places that sold out a bit too quickly first time around!

‘Whether you are a Team Sceptic or Team Believer, if you love ghost stories and want to try and make sense of these strange mysteries, we can promise you a fun, thought-provoking, scare-filled night out as we bring some intriguing cases - never featured on TV or the podcast - to life. If you saw the show in 2023, we can promise you some brand new evidence and new witnesses this time around!’

Well-known resident experts from Team Believer and Team Sceptic, parapsychologists Evelyn Hollow, Deborah Hyde, Ciaran O’Keeffe and Chris French return to analyse and debate these strange, inexplicable, chilling events with Danny. There will be opportunities for audience members to interact and join the debate, as well as sharing their own ghostly experiences.

Recommended age limit is 10+ and parental discretion is advised.
