'The Haunting of 47' at The Hen & Chickens Theatre
19th-23rd March 2019 at 7.30pm
'The Haunting of 47'
A horror portmanteau by Si Spencer
One house, three storeys, four stories, five decades, nine ghosts, twenty-three orgasms, thirty-one Showaddywaddy jokes – sixty-five minutes.
‘The Haunting of 47’ is a supernatural sex comedy
by award-winning horror writer Si Spencer. Weaving
separate stories together from four decades, the play
explores the themes of misogyny, mansplaining, toxic
masculinity, male fragility and the #notallmen apology.
While primarily a traditional farce, ‘The Haunting of 47’
contains strong language, supernatural shocks and
scares, sexually-explicit scenes and Showaddywaddy.
Warning: this show contains sexually explicit language and material and although intended satirically, covers certain subjects that some may find disturbing.

*** THE FIRRENES ALBUM LAUNCH ***
Saturday, 10th November at The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh
Megan will be singing at the album launch of Scottish rock/pop band The Firrenes on Saturday, November 10th at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh. The Firrenes are a five-piece band from Edinburgh, playing original, song-based rock and pop music and drawing on influences as varied as folk, soul, Americana, 70s rock, blues, R&B and classical.
The band is fronted by singer/guitarist Jules Reed (aka Julian Wagstaff, who is also the band's principal songwriter). This concert will celebrate the launch of the band's first album, featuring the original songs 'Time and Place', 'Destitution Row', 'Everything Solid Melts Into Air', 'Door Too Wide' and many more. With kicking tunes and imaginative lyrics, this is a great evening out for fans of original, song-based rock music.
The Firrenes will play two 45 minute sets, and will be on stage at 8pm.
And for the avoidance of doubt, it's pronounced 'Firreens'. Rhyming with 'beans'!

Megan will be performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as part of a double bill with fellow comic, Wis Jantarasorn.
Megan Shandley (Scottish Variety Award nominee 2017, Funny Women Regional finalist 2016) and Wis Jantarasorn (Scottish Comedian of the Year semi-finalist 2016) are two Scottish stand-up comics keen to stick to their Edinburgh roots. Here, they present a home grown hour; could this be two Scotch roasters on the cusp of greatness?
As seen on BBC and STV.
'Megan effortlessly combines the joy of personal anecdotes with topical observation.' (Lynne Parker, Funny Women)
'Wis is the next big thing, incredibly funny and very likeable.' (Naz Hussain, Breakneck Comedy).
