Presented by The Kingston Theatre Alliance as part of the 2023 Kick & Push Festival.
Armed with a caravan of creepy puppets and dark parlour magic, Doctor Pretorious Wuthergloom the infamous necromancer, travelling exorcist and arcane medicine showman, presents a ghoulishly giddy series of tales about the monsters, cryptids, and weird creatures that haunt our mortal realm.
GASP! at the terrifying tales of child-eating faeries, and the cigar smoking Kapre of the Philippines!
WEEP! at the sad fate that befell Edward Mordrake the Man With Two Faces! And the Boy Who Was Stolen by the Wild Subway!
SHUDDER! at the sight of Ghouls, Old Ones, Cosmic Horrors, the Toronto Tunnel Monster and the Dreaded Suburban Sasquatch!
Each tale is a fearful warning about the horrific dangers from the Goblin Universe, wrapped in impossible feats of magic that will warp your very sense of reality! But never fear! Doc Wuthergloom can save you, if only you purchase his Field Guide to Monsters!
Step right up and be terrified and amazed! There’s room for one more!".

“Woolfe has this incredibly unique way of weaving in his slight-of-hand magic into his stories in such a natural way as it wows and amazes audiences. The seamless transition from storytelling with the puppets to doing the magic tricks themselves creates a performance unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else in the city.”
