Now, for the first time, Conor talks live about some of his most hair raising experiences. Featuring footage from his films and behind the scenes stories about how he tracked down and interviewed kidnappers, murderers, torturers, forgers, thieves and many more from the wrong side of the tracks, Conor's take on how crime affects us all is uniquely well informed. Whether you're someone who travels often or just someone who is curious about what makes real life bad guys tick, this is the perfect way to forearm yourself before you next venture outdoors. A seasoned after-dinner speaker, Conor has been invited to speak around the world on his previous adventures making Channel 4's show Around the World in 80 Trades and has appeared at prestigious literary festivals Hay on Wye, Cheltenham and Edinburgh. Join him for a night of frank, funny and frightening tales from the frontline of adventure travel. The evening will be hosted by author and journalist Elizabeth Day.
