As Insomnia i53 kicks off explore its origins with Craig Fletcher: KitGuru TV

Multiplay's Insomnia event is the biggest LAN in the UK and it runs three times a year. Now in its 53rd iteration, it is bigger and better than ever. As it kicks off, we get 1-on-1 with founder and CEO Craig Fletcher to look at where it is now and its humble beginnings.

Here's the history from the man who knows.

KitGuru says: Stunning event and something that every gamer should attend at least once – even if you go as a spectator the first time.
