Join Steve Cross and a lively lineup of comedians and researchers for an evening of spooky hilarity about the history of medicine.

You will hear stories of bizarre treatments, long-forgotten beliefs about the body and medical practices that are both grotesque and fascinating.

Performers include Iszi Lawrence (from BBC Radio 4), Leslie Ewing-Burgesse, Angus Dunican, Christabel Cane and Steve Cross himself. Expect laughter mixed with a shiver as they explore ghostly doctors, surgical mishaps and the weird world of old health ideas, all with a Halloween twist.
