Strange but True Crime is scheduled for 11 November 2026 in Stoke. The event explores shocking and unbelievable crime cases with various performers. Venue details are to be confirmed. Tickets are available on the organiser's website.
Stranger than fiction: explore the world’s most shocking and unbelievable crime cases, including:
- The serial killer who gained work in law enforcement whilst on the run - and was then tasked with hunting himself!
- The researcher whose career began after an encounter in a lift with a serial killer – who had just killed his latest victims, and was carrying a bag believed to be holding their decapitated heads.
- The female, balloon-carrying killer clown.
- One woman’s plan to get a prolific serial killer released from prison by committing a copycat murder of her own… and her connection to yet another serial killer!
- The 14-year reign of terror one child snatcher inflicted on locals, whilst wearing a terrifying mask and makeshift claws.
- The hunt for a phantom female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes spanning 18 years… who did not exist.
- Serial Killers on game shows – how their appearances led to their identification.
- Explore the psychology behind costumes, masks and disguises.
- Plus learn how the police could have DNA, fingerprints or an eyewitness tying you to a crime you did not commit!
Suitable for 16+. No graphic crime scene pictures are used, although crime is discussed which may be upsetting for some.
Jennifer Rees is an ex-college lecturer and past police recruit trainer. Her previous theatre tour, The Psychology of Serial Killers, was a huge hit with audiences selling out across the UK and Ireland to rave reviews.
She holds degrees in psychology and criminal law, as well as professional qualifications in mental health and education.
