The Dark Room
YOU AWAKE TO FIND YOURSELF IN A DARK ROOM!
The audience is trapped in a retro videogame with a sadistic end-of-level boss. Now, they can either escape and win £1000 – or be brutally murdered by the rest of the crowd!
Will you:
A) Find the Light Switch? B) Go North? C) Abandon Hope?
The Dark Room is a live comedy show. It’s also a high-octane, text-based adventure game from improv overlord, comedian John Robertson – he’s harsh, loud, witty and he takes no prisoners. We dim the lights in the venue, and audience members choose options which appear on the screen to try and ‘escape the Dark Room’. There are terribly awful prizes for those who fail to escape and ‘die’ in the Dark Room. Filled with stand-up, 80’s cult references, appalling prizes and more audience chanting than you’d get at a protest – this is a gut-busting, rock n’ roll experience for everyone who buys a ticket.
Originally an interactive YouTube game created in 2012, The Dark Room quickly went viral and has so far amassed more than 4 million views online. John Robertson then transformed the game into a live show, and with no two shows ever the same, The Dark Room continues to sell out high capacity venues at Insomnia Gaming Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, EB Games Expo, PAX Australia, London Film & Comicon, MCM Comic Con and more.
‘The Dark Room’ appeals to everyone – not just to gamers. Audiences do not need extensive gaming knowledge to understand or enjoy the show.
