If you’re fascinated by true crime documentaries and podcasts, then Strange, But True Crime at the Blackburn Empire Theatre is a night you won’t want to miss.
Hosted by former forensics lecturer Jennifer Rees, this gripping live show explores some of the strangest, most unbelievable criminal cases ever recorded. Following the huge success of her previous tour The Psychology of Serial Killers, which sold out venues across the UK and Ireland, Jennifer returns with an all-new show packed with bizarre, shocking and often unbelievable stories.
From the serial killer who managed to gain work in law enforcement while on the run – eventually helping hunt himself – to the mysterious case of the balloon-carrying killer clown, and criminals whose appearances on TV game shows led to their capture, this show dives into the strangest corners of real-life crime.
Through fascinating storytelling and expert insight, Jennifer explores the psychology, circumstances and twists behind cases that are truly stranger than fiction.
