About This Event

Amadan and Mortair, the acclaimed creative force behind Tartan Tabletop, proudly present their latest comedic endeavour, Kill the King. This uproarious new show promises a delightful hour of pure silliness and slapstick. The narrative centres on two rather hapless royal guardsmen who, through a series of unfortunate events, find themselves responsible for the untimely demise of their sovereign. Faced with the monumental task of rectifying their blunder, their attempts to cover up their fatal mistake lead to an escalating series of absurd predicaments. Audiences can anticipate a whirlwind of gags, the presence of a jester or two, and a delightfully chaotic plot that is sure to keep them on the edge of their seats, albeit from laughter. This brand-new production is set to grace the stage at the Gilded Balloon Patter House in Edinburgh on Friday, 7 August 2026, offering a perfect escapist treat.
