What a show

Absolutely amazing show! Had me laughing, feeling existential, and considering, maybe I am here to 'fornicate arachnids'?

Hidden gem

Great audience interaction, unusual, spooky and charming! Loved it!

Can’t think of a better way to celebrate Fringe’s last night than with the thoroughly surprising and engrossingly entertaining Black Widow. Rush!

About this event
Part woman, part spider, all cannibalistic blood lust. Arachnophobes encouraged.

Black Widow: Sex, Bugs & A High Death Toll is a sensual and salacious musical cabaret with Queen Cannibal, mother of all spiders and the reason Daddy Longlegs got his name, Black Widow.

With songs you know and love sung with a twist, spidery banter and the best eight legs in the business - this is a web you'll want to be caught in.

This show is a dynamic dive into the original femme fatale’s world as she grieves, digests and gets back on the hunt.
