Jake Baker, Steffan Alun and Cerys Bradley host Comedians Play Video Games, a late-night anarchic gameshow at Hoot 4 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. From Smash Bros to Overcooked, Mario Kart to Goose Game, with a brief detour via Tetris and a pitstop at Pikmin, the trio welcome audiences to the flat — a Fringe venue — for big laughs, small prizes and a medium amount of nerdy chaos. Whether you were a Sega or Nintendo kid, owned a Wii or PlayStation, or have never touched a controller, all are welcome.
Why see this show?
A genuinely friendly late-night gameshow where three comedians play actual video games together — chaotic, warm and open to everyone, whether you're a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller.
