From the organizer: When The Guardian described Australian comic, John Robertson, as a stand-up “not to be missed,” they weren’t kidding.

His hysterical stage presence and unconventional style has been wooing comedy clubs around the world for a number of years.

Now this maverick comedian is coming to Vietnam. Having already smashed it here in Saigon back in March, when he delighted crowds at Game On and Caravelle Saigon, this time he will be bringing with him his award-winning, one-man show, The Dark Room, a show that on YouTube has garnered over 500,000 hits.

First created in 2012, with the use of projector screens Robertson transforms himself into a live video game. He describes the experience in a recent article in Vice Magazine.

“It’s a multiplayer text adventure starring a floating head that wants to destroy you. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure that breaks your brain. Options are projected onto a screen, and the floating head is me, holding a light and screaming abuse into your dumb, little face.”

The idea is for players aka the audience to try and escape, but John stops them “through a combination of logic and the kind of insults my high school PE teacher used to mistake for encouragement.”

So for a night of interactive, stand-up comedy with a twist, get yourself down to Game On Saigon on Wednesday, September 27th. This is dark, surreal and very, very funny.

Entrance to the show is VND200,000 in advance and VND250,000 on the door and includes a free glass of Pasteur Street IPA.
