Murder on the dance floor, blood on the shag carpet, a broken lava lamp, a tragic freak hula hoop “accident,” disco balls mysteriously falling at the roller disco, or someone strangled by bell bottoms. Anything could happen, but it’s up to you at ‘Big Fun Murder,’ a completely improvised interactive murder mystery show with a 70s twist.

The best part is the audience plays a vital role in determining the who, what, when, and where of the murder mystery, allowing the actors to improvise a unique and different experience each time.

Step into a mysterious world where a ghost has one final chance to uncover the truth behind their own demise. Help them recollect the events of their last day and deduce the identity of the perpetrator as they vividly relive that fateful day in this entirely improvised murder mystery show.

After successful performances at Go Comedy! Improv Theater, the Detroit Improv Festival, the Detroit Women of Comedy Festival, and the Traverse City Comedy Fest, “Big Fun Murder” is back for a limited two-weekend run. Five ghosts, who met their end in the groovy 70s, will have one last chance to reach Heaven if the audience successfully solves the murder; otherwise, they risk spending eternity in hell.

Each show presents a completely improvised murder mystery, complete with different characters, locations, and, of course, murder!
