John Robins: Edinburgh Fringe Preview

Date: Thursday, Jun 27 2019
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Comedy Box at the Hen & Chicken Studio

“One of the most naturally gifted comedians I’ve seen” Daily Telegraph

Formerly Bristol-based comic John Robins has taken multiple emotionally-charged solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and eventually won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2017 with his “break-up” show The Darkness Of Robins.

After a one-year gap John returns with his latest soul-bearing, self-lacerating show Hot Shame which goes on national tour from September – with six nights at the Tobacco Factory Theatre (Sept 2-7) and one night at the Redgrave Theatre on Sept 30.

“An hour in his charming, generous and honest company is so effortlessly entertaining” Chortle
