For One Night Only comedy collective Weirdos Comedy in partnership with NextUp Now will be streaming a live show featuring comedians recreating Computer Games in their own home. 

Half of the cast will be recreating these games using wigs, cardboard and anything at their disposal and half the cast will be in character as celebrities playing these games. 

Those taking part will include Katia Kvinge, Liberty Hodes, Andy Barr, Charlie Miller, Joz Norris, Ali Brice, Aniruddh Ojha, Sam Nicoresti, Charlie Partridge, Ben Target, Helen Duff, Kat Bond. Eleanor Morton, Sooz Kempner, Cassie Atkinson, Alwin Solanky & Matthew Highton. Host is Adam Larter.

The whole show is interactive making best use of the Twitch platform which is known for gaming and live streaming. 

Payment for the show will go towards the acts in Weirdos who have had their income taken away from lack of live comedy. 

The Weirdos collective has previously crafted cardboard feminist mermaids, the abomination that was Phil Collins growing out of Donald Trump’s back and everyone’s favourite, the Dorito fish, which has seen them included as a ‘Top Christmas Show’ to see in The Guardian (2014/15), The Independent (2014/15) and The Times (2015). 2015’s offering, Weirdos for Christmas Number 1, also featured as the last physical comedy feature article in Time Out London, which is a legacy in itself. 

By sticking to the founding almost punk ethos of big, outlandish, DIY comedy, the Weirdos have crafted their place in the live alternative hall of fame and their huge shifting roster of comedians see’s the cream of the alternative circuit collaborating to make something ridiculous.  

Celebrity Twitchathon is on Friday, June 26 at 8.30pm. 

No fee to watch - donations are encouraged throughout.
