Expect trademark wildness from the creator of legendary improv game show The Dark Room (British Comedy Guide’s Best-Reviewed Comedy Edinburgh Fringe 2025.)
Featuring - John Robertson
John Robertson is a high-octane cult leader with wild eyes and a thunderous voice. A stand-up, improviser and force of nature, he’s the creator of the hit live-action videogame show “The Dark Room” (4,000,000 hits on YouTube, over 500 performances all around the world), he faked a seizure on reality TV, wrote the Puffin kids book "The Little Town of Marrowville" and wants you to know he loves you, but he's still going to yell at you.
You can see him in theatres, clubs, gaming festivals, nerd events and rock shows.
