Malcolm Hardee Award-winning, gay, autistic comedian adopts a new stance. For the first time combining his musical composition talents with his well-honed comedy chops, Robert presents a fully orchestrated comedy opera of unbelievable, but true, misadventures and misfortune. An untold story: a Stephen Fry-type coming-of-age tale of a confused homosexual's abusive beard situation generates autistic freak-out enabling seriously daft criminal conviction. A bonkers yarn presented with a Mozart spirit and some wrong notes. 'Pitch-perfect delivery... Just brilliant' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Robert White tries hard - and spectacularly succeeds' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'Jaw-dropping riot' **** (List). 'Brilliant' (Attitude).

Robert White on going InstruMENTAL in Edinburgh

It's not unknown to see comedians with notes scrawled on their bodies. But those on Robert White's hands are not a set list but basic instructions on how to be a performer.

+3 interview: Robert White: InstruMENTAL

"A crazy totally true story about when I was 19 and my life went tits-up."

Dan Lentell, Edinburgh49, 6th August 2017

Edinburgh Fringe day 1

Good shows, a questionable director and a late disaster.

#EdFringe17: Robert White is InstruMENTAL

Enjoy 15 minutes of stand up and chat with Robert. He returns to the Fringe in 2017 with an 'electro-classical comedy opera' which features unlikely, but entirely true, comedic tales of misadventures and misfortune.

Robert White: IntruMENTAL

If you're a regular Fringe-goer, you might well have seen Robert White's previous Festival shows, one of which won him a Malcolm Hardee Award. This year, he takes something of a new direction as he presents his latest show, which combines his comedy skills with the fruits of his musical training.
