It's time for the office holiday party, but our coworkers have more important tasks than putting 'Last Christmas' on the playlist. There's a final ghost to meet and terrifying visions of the future to see! Can they scare their boss enough to warm his cold, cold heart? Will Conrad admit he's now the father to multiple nicotine-addicted orphans? And who in this office is having an affair?!

All this and a trip to HR in the final night! Merry Crit’mas to all, and to all a good night!

This is a recording from a performance of Dungeons and Dickens: A Crit'mas Carol from 13/12/25 at BATS Theatre.

Bah! Humbug! It's the holiday season and a group of overworked colleagues have to plan the company party (that could've been an email). There's gossip to spread, acting to teach, and ghosts to meet. All the most festive activities!

It's a Christmas Carol...But DnD...And even more corporate...

Our lovely coworkers:

• David Bowers Mason as Tiny Tim(esheet)
• Revena Correll Trnka as Conrad Lebowitz
• Olly Winter as Mark Ziemann, the Munchable Mascot
• Tristram Domican as Tem the Temp

...if you're listening to the intro. Oops we were that late (just). And happy National Ferret Day!

This is a recording from a performance of Dungeons and Dickens: A Crit'mas Carol from 12/12/25 at BATS Theatre. In the hottest room imaginable.

The Society for the Responsible Summoning of Supernatural Beings (or SRSSB) needs some hellish retrieval, and knows just the team for the job. Join our budding demonologists on a journey to hell and back, as they attempt reverse psychology on a corridor, fill out paperwork, and break but never enter.

Will they find the Bell of Customer Satisfaction? It should be easy. It's just down the hall and to the left.

This is a recording from a performance of Dungeons and Demons: We're All Going to Super Hell from 25/10/25 at BATS Theatre. (which definitely didn't have to be cancelled and recorded in an empty theatre).

Thanks to Teag Mackay, Ruby Kemp, and Tristram Domican for their hell-arious work. And thanks to Luca for editing this episode.

A child is missing! So, for our paranormal posse it's find the kid, find the ghost, and there's only one way to do that. That's right, it's time to split up! The quest to summon Waverly Weatherstone is on. A man who was famously so handsome, but such a dickhead.

Will our trio escape the theatre? Will Propane learn what a ghost tastes like? Will the church find a suitable local for the Holiday Showcase Variety Extravaganza?

Thanks so much to Olly and Lydia for being a part of our Halloween Special. And thanks to Luca for editing!

Boo! It's the first part of our Halloween special! There's nothing scarier than the lack of money in the arts, and no, the hosts aren't projecting.

Our three ghost hunters (well, one ghost hunter and his guests) are at the rundown Weatherstone Theatre to see if they can find, and taste, the ghost of Waverly Weatherstone. Propane has contracts, Ethel has gripes, Jess has a bad time...and Olly wants to do what with a ghost?

Cast:

DM: Isabella

Propane Tank: Revena Correll

Ethel Anne Thropist: Lydia Sainsbury

Jess Hewitt Faith: Olly Winter

And special thanks to Luca Muir for editing!

Are you ready for a radical time? (and other such 80s slang). It's the 1980s and our decade defying heroes are ready for their most difficult challenge yet! Maintaining minimum wage jobs.

Yee and also haw! Howdy partner, and welcome to Night 2 of Dungeons and Decades: Time is Just a Number (don't ask what happened to Night 1).

In this romp through the 80s, we meet our time-defying heroes in the 1880s, the time of the cowboys as a speeding train sets off from the town of Epitaph. They'll jump on and off a roof, get their bandit qualifications, and harshly judge a man's mental health status after one conversation.

A Merry Christmas (in July) to all! Your favourite mice and newly named tin soldier, Sir Cheddar (aka Team Gravitas) are back!

But will they survive the family cat and the devious games of Mr. Punch? Will they right the wrongs of the toys' terrible wish management over the years? Will everyone get an electric stove? All this and plenty of wedding planning in the final episode of A Christmouse Tail.

But most importantly - silently argue with GM Revena about the fact that snow globes are not inherently holiday objects.

There's toy soldiers, terrible wish planning, and most importantly of all...gravitas.
