EP110 - John Robertson - You awake to find yourself in a Dark Room.
Manage episode 224431393 series 2458690
John Robertson (@Robbotron) is a comedian, writer and video game creator. We talked about what it was like starting out in Australia and moving to the UK. Touched on his early brushes with comedy competitions including Australia Got Talent where he faked a seizure. His live action comedy video game The Dark Room started life as a YouTube video, then became a sleeper hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and is now a real video game for sale on Steam. We talked about moving the idea into different mediums, developing his persona and style as well as continuing to develop stand up shows while touring a video game.
