Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“Delivers big laughs” Brian Logan, The Guardian

********************
York born writer, comedian and one time actor Rob Auton has ideas, writes them down and says them to audiences at comedy nights, poetry nights and at theatres at night. Rob has been standing up and saying things to audiences up, down and across the British Isles since 2008. He has written five five star rated Edinburgh fringe shows, 2012’s The Yellow Show, 2013’s The Sky Show, 2014’s The Face Show, 2015’s The Water Show and 2016’s The Sleep Show. He continues to build an audience through his unique world view and was the 2014 Glastonbury Festival official ‘Poet in Residence’ where Cerys Matthews told him live on air on Radio 6 “Rob, I could talk to you forever.”
In 2014 the Guardian called Rob “a genuine original” after seeing his Edinburgh fringe show The Face Show (an hour long comedy/theatre show about faces). In 2013 Rob won the ‘Dave Funniest Joke of The Fringe’ award with a gag about Chinese Wispas. On the day the news broke, Rob spoke to Vanessa Feltz on Radio 2, the conversation resulting in her saying “that’s just sad”, a quote that will stick with Rob forever.
‘Yes, The Sleep Show is intelligent, perceptive, and deeply profound. But it’s also hilarious.’
