Cult Classics with Hannah Platt
Comedian Hannah Platt shares her obsession with cults, from our friends the Agapemonites to the tragic case of the Heaven’s Gate comet-botherers. Meanwhile, James falls down an unusually rude rabbit hole. In a miraculous feat of bleeping, he dives into the origins of the F-word. You know the one.
Hannah returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with Cult Classic at Pleasance Courtyard, The Attic from 7th to 31st August at 7.15pm. Get your tickets here.
Content Warning: This episode contains references to mass suicide and bleeped swearing.
