Today, in the nerdy news you need to know about, PlayStation Network experience is an outage at the worst time. Kingdom Come Salvation has been trademarked, and Tomb Raider Catalyst has been delayed to 2028 Well, of all this and more, because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily.
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Friday, July 24th, 2026 I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside the most famous man in any room he goes into. It's world-renowned comedian, Mike Drucker.

**Mike Drucker** (0:49)
Hey, hello. How's it going?

**Greg Miller** (0:51)
It's good, Mike. How are you?

**Mike Drucker** (0:53)
I'm very good. Thank you. Thank you for having me.

**Greg Miller** (0:55)
Thank you for coming through, Mike. Of course you're a hard man to book. All right. If you got your start writing on up at noon, maybe you worked in Nintendo before that, but it doesn't count right on up at noon.

**Mike Drucker** (1:04)
Go to the tonight show.

**Greg Miller** (1:05)
You go to Samantha B you're all over. You're writing the dice awards for like a decade now. You've been killing it. But most importantly you're going to Scotland, Mike.

**Mike Drucker** (1:15)
I am going to Scotland. If any of you are UK kind of funny fans, I am doing my bad video game show Shit Arcade at Fringe from the 5th to the 12th and then the 23rd to the 31st.
Greg's done it a bunch of times at different comedy festivals. Each show we have different games. Each show we have different comedians. So you can come to one show at Fringe and the next will be different.

**Greg Miller** (1:34)
Awesome. What is Shit Arcade?

**Mike Drucker** (1:37)
So basically the way it was created was I've always been a fan of shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000

**Greg Miller** (1:41)
Hell yeah.

**Mike Drucker** (1:42)
Where people make fun of films and I know streamers do that with games but I really love that audience aspect. I love a live crowd. I love the way that a crowd can sort of steer the way you play a game, steer the way and there is something about a live crowd that's just screaming at you like when 100 people are in a room screaming at you to jump something. It's a different feeling as happens with every time I play a Garfield game that can't the first level can't be beat. And so yeah, just turned out to be this fun show that I started in LA and have been doing around North America for a while. So this is my first time actually taking it out of the continent.

**Greg Miller** (2:16)
Hell yeah. That's super, super cool. How did this come about? This seems like quite the throw across the pond.

**Mike Drucker** (2:23)
Honestly, I've been talking to my reps about doing Fringe for a while and I've always wanted to go out there and do that festival, but I never really quite had the show I wanted to bring. You know, like a lot of people bring their one person show that's kind of like, you know, here's my 45 minutes of stand up about my dad dying. And I just didn't have that in me at the moment. And so I was kind of like, you know, why don't I do this show? It's a fun show to do. It's I could do it in a fun way. It almost works as counter programming to a lot of the stuff there because it's just sort of like a light fun game where we make fun of, you know, Shaq Fu and a bunch of terrible other fighting games.
So yeah, it just seemed like a fun idea to do. And then we booked it and we're working with a promotional company called Gilded Balloon. And we're at a cool place called the Gilded Balloon Teviot, which has a bunch of different other shows in it. So it's really exciting.

**Greg Miller** (3:09)
So if you were over in Scotland, AKA the UK, why not get over and see shit arcade? Where can people go for tickets, Mike?

**Mike Drucker** (3:16)
You should Google a Gilded Balloon, G I L D E D B A L L or B A L. How would you spell balloon? Oh, and it's been a long week and shit arcade.
You can, you can find tickets on Fringe's website, but if you buy through Gilded Balloon, we get a better cut of the tickets. So please do that. And yeah, it's only, it's only like 10 pounds. It's a cheap show. It's ages 13 and up. So bring a kid. It is super fun.
