Immortality sounds great until you’re a few hundred years old and have run out of things to entertain you.

For Comte De’Ath, the first real vampyre (according to comedian and writer Shaun Micallef), holidays are one way to pass the time. In De’Ath Takes a Holiday, he takes a few spins around the globe, stopping to perform a few reincarnation miracles before finally falling in love – a real temptation to return to the life of the mortal.

Romp through this satirical assemblage of the best bits of Gothic literature with Shaun, in conversation with comedian Jennifer Wong.
