The Dark Room: 48 Hour Marathon Show (NHS Charities), 10 April 2020
NHS Charities Together and its members across the UK are hugely grateful for the support received from so many since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Story

Right now - the COVID-19 pandemic has put NHS workers under incredible strain, when they were already overworked and underfunded. When NHS staff are doing 12 hour shifts at the best of times, something is wrong.

So for 48 hours over Easter weekend, I'm doing my interactive, live-action videogame stand-up show The Dark Room at twitch.tv/robbotron to raise urgent funds for NHS workers and volunteers dealing with COVID-19, and for Mind, the mental health charity (see separate Mind page at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/thedarkroom)- because we all need access to mental health support, especially now.

This will be two days of a show the audience can play together, it'll give folks a laugh and I hope that my obvious physical exhaustion will remind us that the people working hardest are the workers and volunteers of the NHS.
