Comedy murder mystery events
The light-hearted way to bring death to friends and colleagues.Die Laughing are a performance group dedicated to bringing murder and mayhem to your event – with daft storylines designed to entertain as much as mystify. In fact, we’re often accused of first-degree humourcide!
We can create plots tailored to your requirements, or you can pick from our ready-to-go plots.

What We Do…
Our performers dress in appropriate costume for the plot or theme – you can encourage your guests to do the same if you wish!
We focus on comedy and entertainment. We play this for laughs rather than as a serious detective simulation!
We do not work to a script. The characters have their backstories, motives and arguments worked out beforehand but the action during the event is mainly improvised – allowing full interaction!
Following grisly murders, solution forms are filled in by the guests, with prizes for the most accurate and most amusing solutions!
Your Place or Ours?
We can come to your hired venue, your home (if there’s room) or if you haven’t got as far as selecting your venue yet we are trusted entertainment suppliers to Hinwick House in Bedfordshire. We have adapted a few of our scenarios to fit perfectly with the layouts and environs of this Grade-I listed Queen Anne country house.
We can discuss with you, then plan and adapt our mystery scenarios to work in any size or style of event. The best way to go forward is to contact us using the number at the top of the page, or fill in the form below!

Testimonials
Here’s what witnesses to some of our past crimes have to say…
“The Die Laughing Team were wonderful! The actors kept everyone engaged throughout the night – even while we were having dinner. Their performances were fantastic – really taking us back to the 1920s! We would definitely call them again for any future events!”
Miss E. C. – Private Party. March 2024
“The team of actors from Die Laughing and Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy were absolutely brilliant! Their planning and communications prior to our weekend-long event made sure that everything ran smoothly. But their TALENT…wow…all of our guests (50+) were blown away and left giggling all weekend. The team performed an interactive murder mystery night for us on the Friday which played out during the evening over welcome drinks and a three-course meal. It was the best way to both entertain and get all ours guests involved and chatting. The following day, we asked the team to return as characters from Alice In Wonderland to complement our themed party. Again, they smashed it with very convincing performances from a Queen of Hearts and a White Rabbit (who didn’t break character all day long!) as well as theatrical poetry recital. Nothing was too much to ask of the team and their priority was the enjoyment and entertainment of our guests. I cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to all! “
Miss A. C. – Private Party. April 2024
“Thank you so much for a phenomenal experience! The ‘Murder at the Manor’ mystery was an excellent ice breaker for our guests and helped get everyone in the right frame of mind to celebrate for the rest of our event. The characters were unobtrusive, hilarious, amazing and the performance was absolutely spectacular. Everyone is still talking about how great the actors were and how well guests were blended into the plot of the story. 100% recommend!”
Mrs G.O. – Private Party. August 2024
“Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy were fantastic! From initial planning to performance on the night they were easy to work with and made our night. Our guests loved the Murder Mystery and the experience was immersive from the moment they arrived – getting things off to a great start. The performance was planned around our meal ensuring that guests could enjoy the Murder Mystery, engage with the characters and still eat their meals. Highly recommended!”
Howes Percival Milton Keynes – Corporate event. October 2024
“The Die Laughing team were brilliant. Their acting, especially off the cuff, was very impressive. We were at Hinwick House as part of a corporate weekend away and our team of 18 people thoroughly enjoyed dressing up like the 1920s for the night and feeling like royalty. Thanks again to the team, highly recommend to anyone – they’re a lovely bunch.”
