JOHN ROBERTSON’S THE DARK ROOM

John Robertson’s The Dark Room has been at the forefront of interactive comedy, fusing improvisation and videogaming into the world’s only live-action text adventure game.

In this cult sensation, audiences pick options off a screen, and each show is a raucous, heavy metal cross between a strange Japanese game show and a revival meeting.

High-energy and immersive, The Dark Room has racked up sold-out Edinburgh Fringes, and appeared at Insomnia Gaming Festival, UK Games Expo, BlueDot, and Melbourne Comedy Festival,

In 2020 and 2021, John performed The Dark Room for 48 and 50 hours straight on his Twitch channel, raising money for various charities. These shows and other sessions have raised over £100,000 for causes including NHS, Woman’s Trust, Refuge and Mind.
