If your next event is craving a taste of murder mystery theater, St. Louis is without a doubt the best place to be. This great city happens to be home of Jest Murder Mysteries. Founded in 1999, this small company quickly grew to become the largest murder mystery provider in the city. Since then, it has expanded its operations to other major U.S. cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston.
What makes Jest murder mysteries stand apart from the others is humor. We believe that a truly fun show requires funny actors, funny writing and most importantly, a funny experience. Take the holiday show “Dickens of a Killing,” for example—a murder mystery with an old English accent and plenty of unlikely literary references that will guarantee everyone involved a jolly good time.
Besides just being clever, the best murder mystery theater in St. Louis is also really good at what we do. Our team of actors has everything you need for an engaging and entertaining evening. The actors are not simply actors or comedians, they are expert entertainers. They know how to make a great show and, most of all, how to make the audience participate. That’s right: the audience. Even though there is technically a script, each and every member of the audience plays a very important part in the story, and even we never know how everything will turn out in the end.
