    Apocalypse Arcade Zone is the brand new podcast from award-nominated comedian, Elliot Wengler, (‘a real treat, truly funny stories’ - Concrete). At the end of the world, video games will be a nice distraction. Each week, a guest talks about how they would cope with the apocalypse and about the video games that made their life.


    John Robertson is a comedy circuit legend, writer and streamer. He is THE DARK ROOM, the live action video game from hell, in which auditoriums full of audiences find themselves in a dark room, and the only options given to progress are a text-based adventure game in the dark, and every time they're wrong, YA DIE. The show is in its 13th year at the Edinburgh Fringe, and Robertson also takes it to comic cons and expos around the world as part of its world tours. He's also a novelist and twitch streamer. He's a bloody wonderful and hilarious bloke and I was very lucky to get to hang out with him for an hour the other week.
