About this show
Geeks, nerds unite! From Smash Bros to Overcooked, Mario Kart to Goose Game, a brief detour via Tetris and a pitstop at Pikmin: Jake Baker, Steffan Alun and Cerys Bradley welcome you to the flat* (*Fringe venue) to play video games. Late-night anarchic gameshow with big laughs, small prizes, and a medium amount of nerdy chaos. Whether you were a Sega or Nintendo kid; whether you owned a Wii or PlayStation; or whether you've never even touched a controller – come hang out at Edinburgh's friendliest late-night show. 'Like GamesMaster but without the sexism!' (Audience Review).
