We're welcoming Strange Britain as part of their tour for a night on the 23rd February 2027 - tickets are available through them now! 📅
Introducing A Very Violent Valentines: Around the World in 80 Slays
Forget the chocolates. Forget the roses. This Valentine’s Day, Strange Britain is taking you on a rather more murderous kind of romantic getaway.
A Very Violent Valentines: Around the World in 80 Slays marks acclaimed storyteller Adrian Finney’s fifth True Crime Special. And this time he’s planning to take you on a journey into the darker corners of the international crime world, uncovering stories of serial killers, murderers and extraordinary crimes that have remained largely unknown to English-speaking audiences.
From notorious killers with names you may recognise to cases that have barely registered outside their home countries, we’ll be (metaphorically) travelling around the world in search of some of the strangest, most disturbing, and downright bizarre true crime cases.
Expect killers, victims, investigations, disappearances, unlikely twists and the occasional moment where you are guaranteed to find yourself thinking, “How on earth have I never heard of this?!”
And because this is Strange Britain, it won’t be a solemn lecture. Expect plenty of comedy, along with fascinating history and razor sharp storytelling, adding some much needed levity to the serious reality behind the crimes.
So pack your metaphorical suitcase, leave your moral compass at home, and join Adrian Finney for a Valentine’s Day journey where the only thing getting murdered is the romance.
You may never look at international travel in quite the same way again…
