about

From Rob Newman comes a barnstorming new stand-up show about where we are and where we’re going.

From future cities and philistine film directors to Dorothy Parker’s Multiverse Diaries. Throw in Pythagorean gangsters, intellectual bingo callers and a crazy character called Arlo – and the result is a hilarious tour-de force utterly unlike anything else you will ever see anywhere else.

★★★★“One of comedy’s most skilled performers… this is an exquisite, erudite, well-crafted show” – Evening Standard 

★★★★ – “Hugely entertaining, gleefully jaunty, and refreshingly intelligent… I loved it.” – The Guardian

“He is one amazing comedian” – Time Out   

“Intellectually charged and adorably ambitious…a delightfully digestible dose of brain food” – The Times    

Winner: Best Scripted Comedy – BBC Audio Drama Awards 2019  

Winner: Best Comedy with a live audience – BBC Audio Drama Awards 2019
