ABOUT THE NIGHT
Monopoly is a terrible game. It ruins friendships and destroys families. Join comedian Benjamin Alborough as he attempts to improve Monopoly in this chaotic, high-energy game show. Audience members compete against each other and the host, with the audience physically becoming the board game. The show combines role-playing, physical challenges and psychological intimidation to make something that, if not the best board game in the world, is at least short.

Access Fee: £5.95
