Press clippings

John Robins's show The Darkness Of Robins is new to Netflix, but in 2017 it won him top prize at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. The Darkness Of Robins is not a game-changer but it's a bold and winning hour, inspired by Robins's split from his unnamed girlfriend (actually fellow comedian Sara Pascoe).

Robins's ironic celebration of all his newfound freedoms -- unfettered access to power points at the home they used to share, say -- are a masterclass in stand-up comedy. The show flags when it moves too far away from the split, but it ends with tender wisdom as well as real laughs.
