Prepare to be captivated by the darkly hilarious and thrilling new show, He Had It Coming, debuting at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

He Had It Coming is an immersive exploration into the lives of four real women who plead guilty to their crimes. For one night only, the audience will meet these infamous women in the flesh.

Hosted by Femme Fatal, this show delves into the harrowing stories of the 17th-century poisoner Julia Tofana, who killed over 650 men, Marianne Bachmeir, who took the phrase "an eye for an eye" a little too far, and Lorena Bobbitt, who did what every scorned woman wished they could.

During the evening, the murderesses will tell their stories and plead their cases. Because, sure, it was murder, but was it really a crime?

This all-female cast will have you in stitches (from laughing) and second-guessing everything you thought about murder.
Cast:
• Jemimah Ashleigh
• Amber Louka
• Bridget Sweeney
• Chelsea Heaney
• Tina Manoussakis
• Eleni Vettos

Get ready to laugh, gasp, and possibly rethink your view on true crime. After all, some people had it coming.
