This Week: London, 22nd July 2015Rob Auton: the Brian Cox of comedy

Paul Fleckney, The Guardian, 3rd March 2015Seven questions with... Rob Auton
Rob Auton is truly one of a kind. He performs comedy, writes poetry, and is even an incredible painter. He once wrote an entire show based around the colour yellow which shows just how different his approach to the performing arts is. Auton plays with metaphorical concepts as though they are physical things, which opens up a whole new realm of incredibly thoughtful comedy. If comedy is to be considered an art form, Rob Auton is truly one of its leading young artists.
