Producer Francesca Moody said ‘Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! has been made over the last four years in what some might consider to be an unconventional fashion. From the Edinburgh Fringe to the West End, an incredible team of creatives and actors have worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. We're thrilled to have the opportunity to demystify and share the process through a series of post-show discussions hosted by our favourite comedians, writers, and podcasters. Like us, they've made their names creating original work both on and off the Fringe - we're so excited to welcome them to our stage!’

Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder!  transfers to the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End from 25 May 2024 – 14 September after thrilling audiences in Edinburgh, Bristol and Manchester.
