2019 Edinburgh Fringe
John Robertson: The Dark Room
'Watching audiences tackle the challenge and fail is one of the funniest sights around, don't miss it' (Daily Telegraph). The audience is trapped in a retro video game with a sadistic, end-of-level boss. Escape and win £1,000 or be brutally murdered by the rest of the crowd! Will you: A) Find the light switch? B) Go north? C) Abandon hope? Brutal, hilarious, innovative. This interactive comedy game show celebrates its 8th year at the Fringe, and it's just as violent and stupid as any other eight-year-old. ***** (ThreeWeeks). ***** (Comedy.co.uk). ***** (Stage).
