The show, hosted by Edinburgh’s only living plague doctor, Dr. Bonk (played by Eliott Simpson), is a cabaret that promises “laughs, scares, and gore galore in this madcap hour of madness.” Dr. Bonk is a plague doctor who has been working for over 400 years with a terrible track record, leading to many jokes about the deaths of his patients and some hilarious gags involving body parts. A voice is given to him through an unseen narrator, as it’s a bit difficult to speak with a plague mask on! Dr. Bonk is constantly jumping around, sometimes even “taking care” of audience members with a stethoscope and other medically-themed props. Click Here For Review
