Wheel of Failure - Brighton Fringe
Wheel of Failure
A washed-up game-show host lost his big break in a lawsuit. His wife left. His kids hate him. Now he’s clinging to one last shot at redemption.

With only his ten-year-old indentured sidekick, Orphan, and a cardboard cut-out of his ex-wife for support, he hosts a disastrously homemade game show packed with questionable challenges like Whose Drink Is Mine? and Wheel of Shit From My House.

Created by real-life father/son duo William and Jimmy Kontos, this interactive comedy invites the audience to play along, compete for points, and chase victory—only to discover that in this world, success is impossible and failure is guaranteed.

Absurd, dark, and painfully funny, this is a show about pride, desperation, family, and the terrifying hope that maybe, just maybe, this time it will all work out.

(It won’t.)
