Room 861 at Goodnights: Retro Bits
Do you like video games? Do you like comedy? Retro Bits is a unique comedy show where some of Raleigh's best comedians are going to play some of the WORST video games ever made. We might rage quit. We might scream. We might throw a controller. You can even participate and get in on the action. Hosted by Brian McGuinness & Raleigh Retro Gamers, join us for this unique and hilarious show where comedians play terrible video games and riff on them throughout the night.
Brian McGuinness is a 20-year stand-up comedy veteran and a 40-ish-year video game player. He loves great games and tortures himself by playing a lot of bad games too for some reason. Raleigh Retro Gamers was founded in 2018 to network with other collectors, gamers, and nostalgia seekers in our area. Since its inception, Raleigh Retro Gamers has become a bustling community with thousands of members spanning across NC, with a vast majority living in the Triangle. Our mission is to amplify the gaming culture for retro and modern gamers, as well as advocate for the collecting community and the gaming contributors we have in North Carolina. We produce Pop-Up Markets, Expos, Esports, and gaming-related events across NC and welcome gaming and geek fans of all ages.
Management reserves the right to prevent customers from entering the facility who they deem disruptive or dangerous to other patrons.
