Join everybody’s favourite comedian, critic and filmmaker, Ashens, as he hosts his world-famous (probably) NGF talk.

This year, he takes a dive into the foetid pool of unfair Game Overs. Is it worse to instantly lose due to something you couldn't foresee, or to have a game stuck in an unwinnable state without the player's knowledge? (Hint: It's the second one.)

Recommended age 12+. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Tickets £8

The Auditorium, The Forum
