Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote

Sun 27 Sep 2026

Cult hit event Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote returns to Tunbridge Wells for the first time with an interactive screening of the classic Murder, She Wrote episode “Paint Me a Murder”. Jessica Fletcher visits the island hideaway of an artist friend, but soon there’s a murder that only she (or you!) can solve!

Solve-Along returns following 2025’s riotous presentation of “Sing a Song of Murder”.

Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote is a unique and hilarious night featuring games, prizes and audience participation, with special permission from NBC Universal Television. See the show Time Out rated one of 2021 & 2019’s 50 Great Nights Out in London that has played to sell-out audiences across the UK, Ireland, the USA and Australia, as well as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023-2025, Adelaide Fringe 2025 and the Murder, She Wrote Festival 2025 (California).

Hosted by super-fan Tim Benzie, Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote features:

  • A race to solve to the crime, via the Fameometer and the Suspiciometer!
  • A Cabot Cove quiz!
  • A singalong to the theme tune with new lyrics!
  • Clips and biogs of the campy guest stars!

Tim Benzie is obsessed with Murder, She Wrote, having watched the original series when it was first broadcast, and now relishing the repeats on television everywhere. An award-winning playwright and co-writer of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s 2017-2024 pantos, including the Offie (Off West End) Award-Winning ‘Tossed’ in 2023. He is the co-producer of the camp club night PopHorror.

A cinematic, theatrical and hilarious experience … Before the night I had never seen an episode of Murder, She Wrote before, unlike some dedicated fans who had even dressed up. However, this really was an evening everyone could enjoy.” – Nottingham Post

“Benzie knows how to put on a great show … I would happily see it again, with all the fervour of the ‘Jessica Fletcher eating popcorn’ meme.”★★★★★ – Everything Theatre

As soon as I saw it was on at the [Edinburgh] Fringe I elbowed my way through the other BW reviewers, pushed a couple of them over … just so I could get to the front of the queue and see this show again. And it did not disappoint … I’d go again in a heartbeat.” ★★★★★ – Broadway World
