THE TRIAL OF ELIZABETH GADGE T-SHIRT

A Cult Comedy T-Shirt available in black or white cotton.

Two witchfinders walk into a village. No one walks out clean.
The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge T-Shirt is a darkly delightful homage to one of the most brilliantly bizarre episodes of Inside No. 9, the pitch-black British anthology series created by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton. Blending horror, history, and absurdity, The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge skewers 17th-century witch trials with razor-sharp dialogue and deadpan dread.

Set in the gloomy English village of Little Happens in 1645, the episode follows two fanatical witch-hunters — Mr. Warren and Mr. Clarke — as they investigate poor Elizabeth Gadge, an old woman accused of diabolical misdeeds including communing with Satan and “suckingle the Devil’s teat.” What unfolds is equal parts folk horror parody, Monty Python-esque satire, and League of Gentlemen–style discomfort comedy.

“We must proceed with the full rigour of the law… or at least a strong hunch.” — Mr. Warren

This t-shirt embraces the rustic, woodcut-inspired aesthetic of the episode, while presenting the 'authentic' publication of the event as recorded by Mr Warren and Mr Clarke in the village of Little Happens.

Perfect for fans of cult British TV, black comedy, historical absurdity, and anyone who loves their humor with a pitchfork and a pyre.

Repent, ye wearer of stylish heresy.
