IKEA WARS

It's time to enter the flatpack thunderdome! IKEA Wars is a high-octane comedy game show pitting two Fringe performers against each other in the ultimate home improvement indignity: building IKEA furniture in front of a live audience. 

The challenge is simple: build the piece of furniture before your opponent does. Is it a race? Yes! Is it a game show? ALSO YES! A plethora of chaotic sabotages are on hand to ensure that the road to glory is paved with pitfalls!

Build the furniture. Survive the sabotages. Be crowned the Champion of Sweden!*

*title not officially recognised by the Swedish government.

Let's build!

"Who knew you could get so engrossed, anxious, agitated, in watching IKEA furniture being built!" Fringefeed, 2025
