The Dark Room

John has been a working stand-up for 20 years, headlining shows all around the world and created live-action videogame comedy The Dark Room (which is also an actual videogame, an online show and was a YouTube hit in 2012) stream 10 times a week on twitch.tv/robbotron, where the community are called Fuckloaves and are diverse, perverse, wholesome, yet awful – and have raised a lot of money for charity.

In 2012, he created “The Dark Room“, an interactive YouTube game that went viral. After 4,000,000 hits, he turned the game into a live comedy show at Edinburgh Fringe. It has a cult following of people who call themselves Darrens. Don’t ask questions.

The Dark Room was the cult hit of that year’s festival. It led to collaborations with BBC, Comic Relief, FremantleMedia, Hat Trick Productions and PIAS. The Dark Room is permanently on tour, and has returned to every Edinburgh Fringe and become the world’s only live-action videogame.

It tours places and events like Glastonbury, Soho Theatre, Insomnia Gaming Expo, PAX Online, London Film & Comic-Con, Download, BlueDot Festival, Fringe festivals, your house and corporate events.
