Edinburgh Fringe
Rob Auton: The Rob Auton Show
Comic conceits that massage you with an elegantly convoluted vocabulary and their wholesome vibes. This is a life affirming high water mark of what can be achieved in stand-up, beyond calculated tragic tales and pneumatic drill dick jokes.
The Rob Auton Show is a show about Rob Auton. Rob Auton has written nine hit Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy/theatre/spoken-word shows on specific themes including yellow in The Yellow Show, and sleep in The Sleep Show. In his tenth show Rob turns the pen on himself to explore the memories and feelings that create his life on a daily basis. 'A genuine original' (Guardian). 'Makes laughter out of wonder. We need him' (Scotsman). 'Charming, eccentric and uplifting' (Independent). 'Brilliant' (Stewart Lee). 'One of my absolute favourites' (Daniel Kitson).
