Tilted presents a brand-new Uncanny stage show, Uncanny: Fear of the Dark for a UK tour which comes to Birmingham Hippodrome on Sunday 1 March 2026. Tickets are on sale to Friends of Birmingham Hippodrome now and on general sale on Monday 10 March at 2pm.

The first Uncanny live stage show I Know What I Saw was one of the best-selling paranormal shows in theatre history. Now, Danny Robins and his team of experts are back with all-new, thrillingly terrifying, real-life stories and witness accounts that will have audiences utterly gripped.

This is no ordinary podcast show. This is story-telling and paranormal investigation at its peak. With a backdrop of spine-tingling sound design, video projection and theatrical magic, Danny will bring to life accounts of hauntings, apparitions, poltergeists, UFOs and events that seem to defy logical explanation, examining them with the help of experts, psychologist Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and writer and parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow, with input from audiences who will get the chance ask questions, come up with theories and share their own potentially paranormal experiences.

As always, whether you are Team Sceptic, Team Believer or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome.  So the question is: ‘Are you afraid of the dark? Or are you brave enough to try to solve these chilling, intriguing mysteries?

Uncanny: Fear of the Dark is written and performed by Danny Robins, creator of the hugely successful BBC Radio 4 podcasts and global hits, Uncanny, The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm, the BBC TV series Uncanny and the award-winning West End play 2:22 – A Ghost Story.

Danny Robins said ‘Taking Uncanny on the road and meeting thousands of fans over the last two years has been thrilling for me, so it’s great to be hitting the road again. 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. Across the podcast, TV series and live show, there’s been no shortage of new stories to tell. Each case is hand-picked for the format and the atmosphere at the live shows has been electric.  I can’t wait to welcome people back at some new venues this time, as well as inviting new audiences along for the ride,’

Directed by Sam Hodges (Brown Girls Do It Too (Soho/UK tour) for Tilted, The Shadow Factory, Nuffield Southampton Theatres), Uncanny: Fear of the Dark is designed by internationally acclaimed Linbury prize winner Zoë Hurwitz with lighting designed by Elliot Griggs, sound design by Alex Braithwaite and video projection by Zakk Hein.

Founder of Tilted Sam Hodges said ‘With live podcast shows on the rise, what makes Tilted’s approach unique is creating shows that are inherently theatrical, playful and interactive, and, with the help of a brilliant design team, the extraordinary stories that Uncanny features offer a unique opportunity to do just that’.
