GARTH MARENGHI’S DARKPLACE Happy Hour — ғᴜʟʟ ᴇᴘs, $1.50 ᴘᴏᴘᴄᴏʀɴ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ sᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟs!
October 17 : 4:30 pm – 6:45 pm
During Arkadin happy hours, we offer curated entertainment on the big screen in a looser, loungier atmosphere than a normal film screening. We keep the lights up a bit. No ticket required; you can drop in or drop out any time you like. Totally FREE plus drink/snack specials at the bar!
Let “author, dream weaver, visionary, plus actor” Garth Marenghi take you deep into his DARKPLACE with this very special happy hour featuring all six episodes of one of the greatest, most unusual comic creations of the 21st century. Created by Richard Ayoade and Matthew Holness (who also portrays Marenghi), GARTH MARENGHI’S DARKPLACE is presented as a special release of the fictional television series Darkplace, a purportedly lost Twilight Zone-ish TV series never broadcast anywhere but Peru, written and presented by the buffoonishly self-serious Marenghi, a writer who dismisses writers who use subtext as “cowards” and proudly proclaims he’s “one of the few people you’ll meet who’s written more books than they’ve read.” Perfectly aping the aesthetics of low-budget ’90s TV, DARKPLACE is a “comic masterpiece” in which “brilliance and the absurd collide” (Sydney Morning Herald). Come see this cult comedy masterpiece…FOR FREE!

Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com, as well as through general internet searches.
