John Robertson's The Dark Room

WINNER – CHORTLE Legend Of Lockdown 2020
SOLD OUT – Edinburgh Fringe 2019 & Edinburgh Fringe 2022
Welcome to THE DARK ROOM – the world’s only live-action, text-based adventure game. It’s strange, insane and addictive – it’s a choose-your-own-adventure, so choose it! How do you play? The audience is trapped in a retro videogame with a sadistic end-of-level boss. Choose your options, survive the abuse simulator that is the improv comedy overlord John Robertson, and escape to win £1000 – or, be brutally murdered by the rest of
the crowd!

Now, will you:
A. Find the Light Switch
B. Go North?
C. Abandon Hope?
Now it’s 10th year, this high-octane interactive show is the brainchild of comedian & cult leader John Robertson. Filled with stand-up, appalling prizes and more audience chanting than you’d get at a protest – it’s a gut-busting rock n’ roll geek experience for everyone who buys a ticket. John has performed The Dark Room to crowds of thousands at comedy and gaming festivals around the world including Insomnia Gaming Festival, London Film & ComicCon, Sci-Fi Weekender, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, FringeWorld Perth, Leeds International Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and to millions online on his Twitch Partner channel:

Our venues are small and usually best suited to couples and small groups of friends, we do not offer any group discounts and tables seat 2-4.

As such we specifically limit the number of large groups in the audience at all shows and our capacities dictate the maximum group size we are prepared to take.

If you’d like to enquire about a group booking, please get in touch with us at [email protected]

We do receive a high volume of group requests at this time of year, so please allow us up to 5 working days to come back to you.

We ask that you do not book individually or in smaller blocks as it can cause problems for you on the door and occasionally, we must turn away groups.

We do not accept stag/hen parties at our venues- this is our permanent, year-round policy

This show has unreserved seating and standing room.
