True-crime stand-up show by psychologist and author Emma Kenny about the psychology of couples who commit murder.
Emma Kenny is back on stage at the Belgrade Theatre on Friday 26 February 2027, with a new show called Killer Couples. It's her first live return since her tour of The Serial Killer Next Door, and this time she's turning her attention to the dark side of romance.
Kenny is one of the UK's leading psychologists, a best-selling author and a trusted crime commentator, and she's spending the evening unravelling the psychology of couples who commit the unthinkable. The show looks at love twisted into terror, from the infamous Brady and Hindley to more modern equivalents, and asks how love can become an accessory to murder. It's a dive into the depths of romance gone horrifically awry, with Kenny guiding the audience through the motivations and dynamics that pull two people together in a shared crime.
For those who follow her work, it's a natural progression from her previous tour. While The Serial Killer Next Door focused on the individual, Killer Couples shifts the lens to the partnership, examining what happens when a relationship becomes a pact of violence. It's a true crime show in the most literal sense—real cases, real people, and the psychological threads that tie them together.
