Wooden Overcoats: The Body Snatchers / Rudyard Ruins Hallowe'en

Podcast sitcom Wooden Overcoats returns to Kings Place for live performances of its brand-new final season.


Wooden Overcoats returns for its much anticipated fourth and final season and will be performing brand new episodes live at Kings Place.

Rudyard Funn and his equally miserable sister Antigone run their family’s failing funeral parlour, where they get the body in the coffin in the ground on time. But one day they find everyone enjoying themselves at the funerals of a new competitor – the impossibly perfect Eric Chapman! With their assistant Georgie, and a mouse called Madeleine, the Funns are taking drastic steps to stay in business…

Wooden Overcoats is a sitcom, a British Podcast Awards winner, multiple winner of the Audioverse Awards, a Prix Europa nominee, Best of iTunes, and included in the Telegraph’s 100 Best Cultural Events of 2021.

This week:

The Body Snatchers by David K. Barnes

It’s the dead of night and the Funns are in the cemetery – because Eric needs their help!

Rudyard Ruins Hallowe’en by James Hamilton, James Huntrods & David K. Barnes
