Buffy Revamped Stakes Its Claim at Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre
Seventy minutes. Seven seasons. One Spike.
That’s the promise behind Buffy Revamped, a smash-hit parody that distills all 144 episodes of the cult 90s series Buffy the Vampire Slayer into a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud one-man show. Following a triumphant UK tour, three Edinburgh Fringe seasons, and even a North American debut in Toronto, the show lands at Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Wednesday 24 September 2025.
The Vampire With the Best Stories to Tell
Acclaimed comedy actor Brendan Murphy steps into the boots of everyone’s favourite peroxide anti-hero, Spike. With a mix of sharp satire, physical comedy, and buckets of 90s pop-culture nostalgia, Murphy reimagines Sunnydale’s supernatural mayhem from the perspective of its snarkiest vampire.
Critics and audiences alike have been slayed:
-
★★★★★ EdFringeReview – “A riotously good time”
-
★★★★★ British Theatre Guide – “A hilarious romp”
-
★★★★★ DarkChat – “An exceptional performance”
Officially crowned the best-reviewed show at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 by the British Comedy Guide, Buffy Revamped has become a must-see event for die-hard fans and Buffy newbies alike.
Brendan Murphy: A Comedy Powerhouse
Beyond Buffy Revamped, Brendan Murphy is known for creating FRIEND (The One With Gunther), winner of Best Play at the World Wide Comedy Awards, and for his extensive work as an improviser and writer.
