Absolute Monopoly
Benjamin Alborough / RBM Comedy • Professional company
About the show
Comedian Benjamin Alborough of RBM Comedy takes on one of the world's most divisive board games in this chaotic, interactive comedy show. Audience members compete against each other and the host, with the crowd physically becoming the game board itself. Combining role-playing, physical challenges and psychological intimidation, the 60-minute show is part game show, part stand-up, and entirely unpredictable. Suitable for ages 12 and above, it contains audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
A genuinely interactive show where you don't just watch — you become part of the game. Benjamin Alborough turns a familiar board game into something anarchic and hilarious, with audience members at the centre of the chaos. Sharp, original and a lot of fun.
