About this show
Star, creator and heartthrob of sell-out hits Gay Witch Sex Cult ( Guardian) and Sad Gay AIDS Play (* Guardian) returns with a new comedy-horror-revenge-slasher-spooktacular. When know-nothing, home-owning reviewer Felix Chatelier is invited to be a special guest at a new fringe festival, he is thrilled. But when he becomes embroiled with creepy townsfolk and horrific twists he must fight for his life and more importantly, his reputation, as he desperately seeks to answer the question 'Why oh why did I only give Andrew Doherty three stars?' Reviewers welcome at their peril.

— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
Andrew Doherty is back with the comedy-horror pastiche he does best, all jump scares, blood and incisive mockery, acting out a revenge fantasy that many Fringe performers will feel envious of.
In, Reviewers Welcome… TO DIE! Andrew plays Felix Chatelier – a hapless critic who has been invited to be the head reviewer at a new fringe festival, in a small village in Loughborough. What follows is a very funny…
