The Dark Room

After 4 million YouTube hits, three crowd-surfs, 4 death threats and sell-out shows from Edinburgh Fringe to Australia

The Dark Room is a comedy night crossed with a panto, because The Dark Room is the world’s only Live-action Video Game. It’s the audience vs The Evil Floating Head in a test of skill, wit and cunning. Imagine a choose-your-own-adventure mixed with a riot and performed by a Commodore 64. It’s strange, insane and addictive and there’s a £50 grand prize if you can beat the game and escape… The Dark Room.

The Rules Are Simple:

1. Options will appear on a screen.

2. You call out the option you want.

3. The Head will tell you if you’re right, or dead.

4. In the end, everybody plays.

Performed by stand-up John Robertson, this is a surreal, incredible show for anyone who’s ever touched a video game, seen a video game, or has done neither of these things and is willing to be thoroughly disturbed.

Mark Felgate

A man with many unique talents! Mark’s startling abilities as a ventriloquist, combined with guitar playing and a wickedly daft sense of humour, have helped him become a sought after act on the stand-up comedy circuit.

Performing without a dummy, Mark throws his voice to create side-splitting routines on school life, freaking out drunks and pallbearers and the vagaries of censorship. His performances include a slew of silly voices, noises, vocal acrobatics, twisted songs and guitar histrionics. The former Nickolodeon presenter also won Gagging For it (Channel 5) and taught Ant and Dec ventriloquism on Saturday Night Takeaway.

As seen on…

Men in Coats (Aardman/CBBC 2010), The One Show and Sunday Night at the Palladium.
