The @edfringe.bsky.social has officially begun, and we have just SOLD OUT our first Robot Vacuum Fight Club on Sunday 10th! 👻🎉

Want to come along? The good news is there are FIVE MORE DATES throughout the month that still have tickets available...

www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...
Exactly what it sounds like. Form a team, select a knockoff Roomba, customise it, then pit it against a dozen rivals in a series of knockout competitions that test speed, agility and suction power. The winning team receives honour, glory and maybe a free pint if we've sold enough tickets. This is an anarchic, fully-interactive gameshow put together on an extremely tight budget with dodgy home appliances we bought off Temu. If you like Robot Wars... this is nothing like it, but you should come along anyhow.
