Robot Vacuum Fight Club is an anarchic, fully-interactive gameshow that is exactly what it sounds like: teams customise robot vacuum cleaners and then have them face off in an arena in a series of knockout competitions that test speed, agility, suction power and ferocity.

We’ll next be running Robot Vacuum Fight Club at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe on various dates throughout the month of August.

Here’s a little taste of a typical Fight Club:

It’s loud, chaotic, a bit surreal, and a lot of fun. Here are some things people have said about it:

“What a great, ridiculous way to spend an evening. This type of [thing] is exactly what the Fringe is about…” – Audience Review

“It was incredibly fun using wooden forks, pipe cleaners, double sided tape, and a whole table of craft supplies to upgrade our Hamish ‘Hot Rod’ Hoover to destroy the competition…” – James Doherty, Fringesider

“This tiny loft transforms for an hour into a hive of frenetic energy that will leave you buzzing…” – Audience Review

You can see a gallery of previous RVFCs here. Every show we’ve ever run has sold out within weeks, and we’re delighted by how many people have told us that it’s been the highlight of their festival.

Tickets are available via the Edinburgh Fringe website!
