John Robertson: Playing with the Audience!

Joker Comedy Club & Gag Reflex Presents: John Robertson Playing with the Audience!

New tour show for 2025! 90 minutes of improv, mayhem, gaming comedy, crowdwork and songs from the UK’s most manic comic on his first-ever stand-up tour! Best known for his high-octane improvisation and game show The Dark Room, come get played with!

First half: In this joyous anarchic geeky rant Mr Robertson unleashes 40 years of his love of videogames and geek culture and spares no sacred hedgehog or dorky incel in his quest to make fun of every niche interest he has. From the highest of platinum trophies to the lowest reaches of internet influencers, this is a history of gaming unlike any other.*

*In the sense that the man presenting it has social skills, limited though they be.

Second half: John presents his acclaimed EdFringe show The Human Hurricane – expect sex, crowdsurfs, crowdwork, songs, callbacks to the first half, and somehow even less structure!
