Actor

Fancy a job that’ll send shivers down your spine? The Edinburgh Dungeon is on the hunt for theatrical talent to join our twisted cast and help bring Edinburgh’s gruesome past back to life. This is not your average gig – this is a 75-minute interactive tour through some of the city’s most delightfully disturbing history!

As an Actor. you could find yourself playing a bloodthirsty Judge, the dastardly Torturer, a member of Sawney Bean’s family (yes, we’re still talking about that lot), the ‘Foul Clenger’, or even Mary Queen of Scots herself, because why not? Each character has a script, but you’ll need to bring a bit of flair and improv to really make them your own. Oh, and did we mention you’ll be controlling some proper spooktacular special effects while you’re at it?

Performances are regular – every 8 to 10 minutes during peak times, so stamina is key. You’ll be performing in tight, mysterious spaces (because, well, it’s a dungeon). And yes, flexibility is essential, we are offering full and part-time contracts. This role involves evenings, weekends, and even some late-night shenanigans for our special ‘Dungeon Lates’ events.
