Step into the deliciously dark world of The Funeral Director, the new black comedy from Scottish stand‑up Jim Lindsay. A man who proves that the only thing more inevitable than death, is laughing about it.
For one hour, you’re invited inside the mind of a Scottish funeral director as he guides you through the process none of us escape, accompanied onstage by the ever‑present Mrs McKenzie, who is already lying in her coffin and absolutely stealing the show without saying a word.
With gentle hands and wicked humour, he builds his case that death isn’t frightening, it’s ripe for comedy. He’ll coax you to invest in your future. Poke at the secrets polite society prefers to keep buried and laugh in the face of death.
Before this sharp, daring, disarmingly funny production heads to the Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Festival in 2027, catch it right here in Waihi and save yourself an international flight. This is one appointment with the Funeral Director you’ll be glad you kept.
