The Unusual Suspects: A Wild Murder Mystery
A Murder Mystery in Norfolk like no other!
Everyone in the room is a suspect in this wild murder mystery in Norfolk… EVEN YOU! The Unusual Suspects is a completely made-up murder mystery. Detective Brad McMurran walks you through the suspects… all pulled from the audience. No matter what twists the suspects throw at our great detective, he’s following the fun right to the very end. Watch in amazement as Brad pieces the puzzle back together, and leaves everyone doubled over with laughter. The show is completely improvised, so who knows what will happen next?
Each month, Brad plays a different detective inspired by the great sleuths of fiction. If you love mysteries, whodunnits, and good plot loop-hole, The Unusual Suspects is for you. Can you solve the murder before our crack investigator?
The Unusual Suspects is the brainchild of Brad McMurran (co-writer of Cuff Me: The 50 Shades of Grey Musical Parody, and co-owner of The Push Comedy Theater). The show regularly sells out at the Push Comedy Theater. It has been performed at parties, festivals, and corporate events. It was performed monthly at the South Point Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
