2022 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, winning £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 game show celebrates its ninth year at the Fringe and it's just as violent and stupid as any other nine-year-old. ***** (ThreeWeeks). ***** (Comedy.co.uk). Winner: Chortle Award, 2020. Fringe sell-out, 2019.
