Read The Room is an interactive quiz panel show perfect for festivals, pubs, corporate events, club nights – it’s even perfect for online events!
About Read The Room
Read The Room is an interactive comedy panel show where the audience answer revealing questions live through their phones while the contestants need to figure out which way The Room will swing. It’s cheeky, fun, clever and hilarious.
Questions like:
• Is there a dead pet in your backyard?
• Are you allowed to flirt with married people?
• Have more than 2% (national average) of this audience been to jail?
Contestants are 1v1 or 2v2 and can be other performers in a festival, local identities or prominent people in your company or team. They answer questions based on the audience voting. The same questions can have a different answer depending on that night’s audience!
The audience makes up “The Room”, and each person can directly influence the show without having the spotlight shone directly on them.
There are hundreds of questions ready to go, so the audience can come to multiple shows! Questions and themes can also be customised for your event.

Audience Feedback
I have had some fantastic feedback, even saying that this was the best event we have done! Hopefully we can do something similar again.

We had two shows available with traction being strong, we only wished we booked another night! This show definitely went down as a favourite for many of those who attended (including the staff).
