About this show
Join comedian Benjamin Alborough as he attempts to improve Monopoly in this chaotic, high-energy game show. Audience members compete against each other and the host, with the audience physically becoming the game board. The show combines role-playing, physical challenges and psychological intimidation to make something that, if not the best board game in the world, is at least short. * (EdFringeReview.com). * (ThreeWeeks). * (NorthWestEnd.co.uk). 'Riotously entertaining' (Chortle.co.uk). Sell-out show in 2024. Benjamin Alborough is a Malcolm Hardee Award nominee for Comic Originality 2025 and a nominee for Best Variety Show Leicester Comedy Festival 2026.
