Hosted by comedian Steve McNeil (team captain on UK TV’s hit comedy/gaming show Dara O’Briain’s Go 8 Bit) and aided by Guinness World Record breaking tech whizz, the award winning Rob Sedgebeer!

The show was first performed as part of the Royal Institution’s 2015 Summer Programme after Steve and Rob’s appearance on their 2014 BBC Christmas Lectures. In 2016 they returned with a new show, at which they broke the Guinness World Record for Most People Playing A Single Game of Pong.

An early version of the technology used in the show was developed by Rob Sedgebeer and kindly loaned to the live incarnation of McNeil and Pamphilon’s videogaming/comedy show Go 8 Bit. They also had their own stage at Eurogamer’s EGX, welcoming over 80,000 people to the event over its four day run at Earl’s Court. Rob’s tech is also used extensively in the TV show.

Bring a charged smartphone or tablet along, as you will use it to play the entire show!
