Winner of ‘Dave Funniest Joke of The Fringe Award’, Rob Auton, brings his biggest nationwide tour yet to Sheffield.
Rob Auton is set to embark on his biggest nationwide tour yet with ‘The Talk Show’ being the second best reviewed show out of over 1800 Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy productions.
From early 2019, this tour has Rob playing 32 dates at venues spanning England, Scotland and Wales, culminating with a run at the Soho Theatre from the 21st-25th May.
Putting his own familiarity of isolation as a touring comedian under the microscope, experiences including encounters with Jehovah’s witnesses, the post office and hours at his kitchen table are documented as Rob explores how time on his own has changed the way he talks.
Through his command for words and offbeat humour, Rob has built a cult Fringe following for shows exploring seemingly mundane subjects: hair, sleep, water, faces, the sky and the colour yellow. Last year at Edinburgh Festival, Rob played ‘The Hair Show’ to packed rooms, enjoyed critical acclaim including picking up Three Weeks’ Editor’s Choice Award and performed part of his hour at the BBC curated Best Of Edinburgh 2017.
In November 2018, Rob appeared on ‘Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Central’ With Rob Delaney and also performed on Sky One’s ‘The Russell Howard Hour’.
Rob’s, ‘The Talk Show’, arrives in Sheffield on Monday April 29 to the Sheffield Students’ Union. Tickets are priced at £13.20 and can be bought from seetickets.com
