Name: Drinks and Games!
Start: 2025-08-29T17:30:00.000Z
Location: The Old Bell Inn

Hello all!

It's that time of year again so we're planning some fringe events!

The plans are as follows:

3.00pm - ARCADE

6pm - TARTAN TABLETOP

8.15pm - OFF WITH YOUR HEAD

10pm - JOHN ROBERTSON'S THE DARK ROOM

11.25pm - SLUTS WITH CONSOLES

Come along to any/all the shows you like! ☺️ Myself and Daniel have all shows booked!

We will try to find places to eat and/or drink in between Arcade & Tartan Tabletop as there is some time between these two shows.

We cannot guarantee any seating between shows, we'll just have to hope there's space somewhere/anywhere on a busy Saturday during August - probably outdoors where there's food/drink stalls!

Here's the links and a brief description of the shows:

DARKFIELD presents ARCADE: an interactive narrative that uses the nostalgic aesthetic of 1980's video games to explore the evolving relationship between players and avatars. Over 30 minutes in a completely dark shipping container, this choose-your-own-path experience will fully immerse the players using 360-degree binaural sound, sensory effects and a bespoke DARKFIELD ARCADE machine for each player. Players will be asked existential questions about free will and consciousness in a world where some may win and some may lose...

Calling all Dungeons & Dragons fans! The Tartan Tabletop gang are back after their second sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Get ready for improvised comedy at the roll of a dice as our four heroes blunder their way through an adventure like no other – aided by the weird and wonderful Noblin the Goblin, played by a different guest star comedian every night! Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the world of tabletop gaming, this show was made for you. Roll for initiative!

Can you save the kingdom from the curse? Find out in this interactive comedy game show, where two guest performers try to rule a 12th Century Kingdom, and you decide who lives and dies! A unique experience at every show – how will you fare, my liege?

The audience is trapped in a retro video game with a sadistic, end-of-level boss. Escape and win £1000 or be brutally murdered by the rest of the crowd! Will you: A) Find the light switch? B) Go north? C) Abandon hope? New deathtraps for 2025!

Is that a joystick in your pocket or are you pleased to see us? Armed with plasmids, melee weapons and enough energy drinks to kill a small dog, Player One and Player Two are on a mission to uncover the truth about women in the gaming industry. Join them for an anarchic, high energy, dark comedy created to heal the edgy teenage not-like-other-girls girl inside us all. This is a show about video games, the women that love them and the community we wish would love us back.
