Need more details? Here you go!
Welcome to the high-energy, interactive live-action videogame that is The Dark Room! It’s strange, insane and addictive. It’s a comedy night and retro gaming fused into a deranged, anarchic improv game show. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure, so choose it!
How do you play? The audience is trapped in a retro text adventure game with a sadistic end-of-level boss. Members of the crowd pick options off the screen and try to survive a world of traps and puzzles hosted by improv comedy overlord Mr John Robertson. Escape and win £1000! Fail and YA DIE and get a prize that is, let’s be fair, utter crap.
"NOT TO BE MISSED!” The Guardian

"One of the most innovative and original comedy shows around” Manchester Evening News
"Watching people tackle the challenge and fail is one of the funniest sights around. Don’t miss it” The Daily Telegraph, SydneyThe Dark Room goes to PERTH, WA 2023 #fringeworldRobbotron2023-01-07 | PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA! Feb 3rd - 19th, THE DARK ROOM hits Fringe World Festival!
After a decade of touring, hundreds of online shows, raising over $250,000 for charities and flying the geek gamer comedy flag high, I'm bringing my high-octane game show HOME!
This new build of The Dark Room is colossal, the show's the best it's ever been, with new options, traps, features, characters, plot and me at the helm more deranged than possibly ever.
