* ‘Who Wants to Be…?’ – the spontaneous, democratic game-show *
* 7th November 2008, 8-10pm *
* The Unicorn Theatre, London Bridge *
‘Who Wants to Be…?’ is a live reality game-show, brought to you by the people behind Talkeoke, where the audience make up the questions, have all the answers, and set their own rules.
200 people will buy £10 tickets making a £2000 cash pot, then spend 2 hours proposing, discussing, and creatively modifying each others ideas for what to do together with a £2k budget.
Previously on ‘Who Wants to Be…?’ the audience very nearly voted to sack the host and put their money behind the theatre bar. Suggestions included group ownership of a dog, guerilla gardening in the City of London, and a symbolic burning of the cash. Finally the audience decided to buy a woodland! Each audience member is now a co-owner of a share in a beautiful Welsh woodland to be looked after for future generations.
£2000 buys anything from a prefabricated log cabin to a signed Damien Hirst print, 9642 packets of crisps, or rent on a London flat for a month of parties. Gamble it, donate it, invest it, waste it! Bring your ideas, your tenner and your vote to the Unicorn Theatre on Friday 7th of November and decide.
