Murder For Two at The MAC Belfast is an absolute riot from start to finish — a dazzling display of musical comedy, jaw-dropping versatility, and non-stop laughter that’ll leave your cheeks sore from grinning. Bruiser Theatre Company has done it again, delivering a theatrical rollercoaster as sharply clever as it is wildly entertaining.
What makes this show unmissable is the comedy’s sheer physicality and precision. The two actors take on a staggering thirteen characters between them, plus all the piano playing, with such impeccable timing and flair that you’ll forget there isn’t a whole ensemble behind the curtain. Each character is distinct, hilarious, and completely over-the-top in the best possible way. The duo switch roles, accents, and even genders with lightning speed and flawless comedic timing. It’s like watching a masterclass in character acting and physical comedy all rolled into one.
From pratfalls to perfectly choreographed chaos, they keep the energy sky-high and the audience roaring with laughter. Their chemistry is magnetic, their talent undeniable, and their stamina? Superhuman.
The show itself is a loving spoof of classic whodunits, bursting with musical mischief and tongue-in-cheek wit. Think Agatha Christie meets vaudeville meets musical theatre on espresso shots. It’s silly, it’s smart, it’s wonderfully self-aware, and it’s an absolute blast.
Catch it at The MAC before 11th May, or risk serious FOMO when it heads off on its Northern Ireland tour. If you like your theatre fast, funny, and full of surprises, Murder For Two is your perfect crime. 🎭🔍🎹
