About the show
IKEA WARS is a 60-minute comedy game show at the Coorie venue, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, presented by Social Club Productions. Two Fringe performers go head-to-head in the flat pack thunderdome, racing to build IKEA furniture before their opponent. A plethora of chaotic sabotages are on hand to ensure the road to glory is paved with pitfalls. The winner is crowned the Champion of Sweden (title not officially recognised by the Swedish government). The show involves audience participation and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, with tickets starting at £9.
Why see this show?
A comedy game show premise so simple it's brilliant — two people, one piece of flat-pack furniture, multiple sabotages. A reliably entertaining way to spend an hour if you enjoy participatory, anarchic fun at the Fringe.
