Following a critically acclaimed sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, award winning writer, comedian and actor Rob Auton brings his latest show to Soho.
‘You’ll laugh a lot, you’ll smile a lot and, mark my words, you’ll want to see him again’
★★★★★ Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke

Rob has written ten hit Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy/theatre/spoken-word shows on specific themes including the colour yellow in The Yellow Show, sleep in The Sleep Show and hair in The Hair Show. In his most autobiographical show to date, Rob turns the pen on himself to explore the memories and feelings that create his life on a daily basis.

TV credits include: Starstruck, Cold Feet, The End of the F*cking World, Miracle Workers, The Russell Howard Show, Rob Delaney’s Stand Up Central.
