Fans of the 90s/2000s hit show Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be able to sink their teeth into a fangtastic one-man show 'Buffy Revamped', from Edinburgh Fringe.
After a critically acclaimed season at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Seabright Productions say they are delighted to present the highly anticipated UK & Ireland Tour of Brendan Murphy’s brand new show - Buffy Revamped.
The tour will stop off at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre on Sunday 29 January, at 7.30pm.
Coming hot on the heels of Murphy’s last show, Friend (The One with Gunther), which recently won the award for Best Play in the World Wide Comedy Awards, the award-winning success (Darkchat Awards 2022: Best Comedy Performer and Best One-Person Show) of Buffy Revamped has confirmed him as one of the country’s most talented young writer/performers with both critics and audiences.
A spokesperson for the show describes the plot: "In this fast-paced new production we bring you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike.
"Funny, satirical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike."

Brendan Murphy (writer and performer of Buffy Revamped) said: “Buffy fans are some of the smartest, funniest and kindest audiences you could ever hope to have at a show, and I can't wait to bring this celebration of all things Buffy The Vampire Slayer to the Scoobs & Slayers lying in wait across the UK and Ireland.”
