True Crime Walking Tour - A comedians guide to Adelaide's dark past V2

Co-written and presented by comedians Shayne Hunter and Ro Campbell, who will alternate as your tour guides.
Shayne and Ro return with all-new chilling stories from the city's shadowy past. Discover shocking tales of questionable forensics, suspicious deaths, and Adelaide's most infamous brothel siege! Wander through hidden alleyways as they combine dark humor, meticulous research, and masterful storytelling to bring these untold tales to life.

This interactive 90-minute (times vary on the speed of the group) adventure promises a captivating blend of history, scandal, and laugh-out-loud comedy that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about Adelaide's seedy underbelly.
Perfect for true crime enthusiasts, comedy lovers, and anyone curious about the stories your history teacher was too afraid to tell you!
