The Dark Room
Welcome to The Dark Room – the legendary interactive comedy show that fuses improv, crowdwork and gaming to create an insane live-action videogame!
Now its 13th 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 – The Dark Room is a gut-busting rock n’ roll comedy experience for everyone who buys a ticket.
