Shit Arcade is a comedy show in which a panel of comedians are forced to play and roast some of the worst games of all time live on stage. From ET for the Atari 2600 to Little Britain for the PlayStation 2, the games in each show are random, but the pain is merciless. Some audience members will even get the chance to play and help comedians beat levels in these terrible games – and maybe even take them home!

About Mike Drucker

Mike Drucker presents Shit Arcade, a comedy show in which a panel of comedians is forced to play and roast some of the worst video games of all time live on stage. The games in each show are random, but the pain is merciless. Some audience members will get the chance to play and help comedians beat levels in these terrible games — and may even take them home. An interactive game show comedy blending live roasting with audience involvement.

Why see this show?

A gleefully cruel comedy concept — watching comedians suffer through famously terrible video games, with the added possibility you could be dragged on stage to help. Unpredictable, interactive and very funny.
