“Robin Boot's deliciously dark & surreally silly songs are an absolute hoot... catch him, you won't be disappointed” - Dead Parrot Society
Bio:
A large dose of clever wordplay, a smattering of darkly surreal lyrics, a dollop of innuendo, a liberal serving of tasty guitar skills, sprinkle in some percussive feet and add a soupcon of beautiful hair...
...mix them all together and you get Robin Boot's Rockomedy. He's guaranteed to fill your belly with laughter!
Robin has been performing as a comedian since 2012 and as a musician for over a decade before that. He has taken seven, hour-long shows to Edinburgh Fringe (2015 Cabaret Voltaire, 2016 & 2017 Sneaky Pete's, 2018, 2019, 2022 & 2023 Whistlebinkies) and enjoyed full houses every year. Robin’s comedic style is very relaxed yet sharp-witted, his ability as a guitarist makes him stand out from other musical acts and he interacts effortlessly with an audience. Robin performs at comedy nights, fringe festivals, music festivals and corporate events all over the world. He also organises and promotes comedy events so please get in touch if you'd like to discuss possibilities in your area. Robin is also an actor and model.
