The setup

Immersive cinema
you can actually play.

Our immersive film night will let you wander a mini-set based on the fictional world of CTRL AI Delete.

With our movie predominantly set inside a retro gaming EXPO, you’ll have plenty of arcade machines and 80s computer hardware to play on and, who knows… hack!? During the course of the evening you’ll meet a few of the Skeg Vegas movie misfits: live actors who - should things go catastrophically wrong - will be on hand to help you use vintage tech to save the world from a superintelligence gone rampant.

At CTRL AI Delete LIVE the expo is real. The arcade machines are real. The AI intrusion is real(-ish). And the film is alive right before your eyes.

Live actors!

Performers appear LIVE and in character throughout the evening, bringing the world of CTRL AI Delete off the screen and into the room!

Your host

Ginger Morecambe
runs this venue.

Film Co-writer and professional stand-up Mark Felgate appears LIVE and in character as Ginger Morecambe - the Retro Expo's long-suffering venue manager. Ginger’s responsibilities include warming up the room, entertaining everyone with magic (even though they didn’t ask for it) and dealing with disaster as the AI goes rogue and threatens the show!

Oh, and Ginger has requested we mention that he is “also available for kids’ parties, hen-dos and weddings!”

In real life, Mark is an experienced stand-up comedian, ventriloquist and magician. He’ll be sure to have you laughing and cringing your way through an action-packed evening as he tackles unexpected technical issues and rogue AI mishaps.

Your Waitress

She doesn’t do please and thank you!

A woman with curly hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a black shirt, is preparing milkshakes at a counter in a pastel goth-themed cafe with purple and pink neon lighting. Two other people are visible in the background, with one person facing left and the other with their back turned.

Straight from Mr Flippy's, meet the waitress rumoured to give the worst service of any cafe in the East Midlands area. She’ll be dishing out her famous 'Facon Special' - with a generous dollop of sardonic sauce on the side.

Your Expert Hacker

Isn’t that Harry Hill?

A person sitting behind a table with various electronic devices, reading a magazine, with a robotic bike and a white futuristic vehicle in front, and another person standing nearby.

No! It’s that bloke off The Gadget Show! Screenwriter and extreme-extra of CTRL AI Delete, Jason Bradbury will be starring as the man from the Expo museum exhibit. Rumour has it, his geek credentials include retro computer hotwiring, exactly what’s required when the AI chaos gets real.

No other cinematic event lets you play with the props!

Playable Arcade Cabinets

A free-to-play arcade

Not just set dressing! We’ve created our own little slice of the movie’s Expo Arcade at every event - that’s arcade machines and first gen retro gaming computers - free to play!

Legendary 80s Computers

Vintage tech, live and interactive

Any fan of classic gaming computers - ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 - will want to check out our retro computer section.

A computer screen displaying a video game interface with red text indicating game states: 'PLAYBACK: INTERRUPTED,' 'AI OVERRIDE: ACTIVE,' 'FILM.MP4: LOCKED,' and green text at the bottom showing 'reboot terminal required,' 'volunteer: [ awaiting ],' 'level clear to resume,' and 'lives remaining' with three pixel art hearts, two pink and one black.

BREAKING NEWS!

“AI takes over movie screening”

Skeggy Herald

WARNING! Our events have been known to get hacked... by a rogue AI! Should this happen during your screening of the movie, DON'T PANIC!

We have ways of enrolling all of you to hack the AI back to the 80s - it just might mean your screening gets an unexpected interval!

One of the arcade cabinets on the floor doubles as a Reboot Terminal. Ginger Morecambe and maybe a volunteer or two will know what to do!
