Steve McNeil, team captain on Dara O'Briain's Go 8 Bit, will be hosting a series of live interactive online shows, directly before and after Go 8 Bit premieres and repeats on Dave each week. Comedians including Marcus Brigstocke, Bec Hill, Ed Gamble and Brett Goldstein will be taking part.

In "WiFi Wars", the viewers will ALL play games against each other using the show's Guinness World Record-breaking tech.

In "The Video Game Game Show Show", the guests will compete on retro games, but the audience will also be involved by voting on who they think will win, playing games (like in WiFi Wars) and they'll get to take part in bonus quiz rounds too.

Steve McNeil said "We're really excited to be doing these online shows, as we're able to play a far wider range of games than is possible on the TV show, can open things up to online stars as well as 'traditional' celebrities, and can also allow the entire viewing audience to engage with us, not only in the live online chat, but also in the games themselves, thanks to the genius of Rob Sedgebeer (the technical manager on Go 8 Bit, and the creator of WiFi Wars' tech)."

The show will be broadcast live from the Royal Institution, where WiFI Wars also has its bi-monthly gig residency.
