John Robertson's The Dark Room

Welcome to the world's only live-action, text-based adventure game. It's strange, insane and addictive. It's a comedy night, a gameshow and a pantomime all in one.

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?

This high-octane 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 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. Most recently: Insomnia Gaming Festival, London Film & ComicCon, Sci-Fi Weekender, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, FringeWorld Perth, Leeds International Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest AND a monthly residency in London at the prestigious Soho Theatre.

Now The Dark Room is coming to the beautiful and atmospheric Unicorn Theatre, part of the 12th Century Abingdon Abbey Buildings.

Social distancing measures at the event will meet government guidelines.

Be assured that if the plague returns in earnest, your ticket money will. be refunded.
