The fringe lineup is out: try Robert Newman's Brain Show, Josie Long's investigations and Michelle Wolf, one of Chris Rock's Oscars speechwriters.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 10th June 2016Robert Newman: The Brain Show review
Dissing bad science, capitalists and Brian Cox, Newman's low-octane cabinet of neuroscientific curiosities has nonconformist bite.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 19th January 2016Robert Newman: The Brain Show
The Brain Show is not as focussed as you might think, as Robert Newman digresses into his over-empathetic next-door neighbour, the state of bland, generic 'is it me or is everything shit?' stand-up and disparaging comments about David Bowie that deliberately went against the mood of room, and indeed the entire country, causing something of a wobble in the atmosphere.

Emma Higg, Cambridge News, 28th November 2014Rob Newman: New Theory of Evolution, The Lowry, Salford
Newman's performance is slick and well-rehearsed with little or no deviation from the script which gives this show a more play like feel. The subject matter can at times be a little difficult to keep up with but the passion that it is delivered with cannot be questioned.
Paul Downham, The Public Reviews, 30th October 2014Interview: Rob Newman - New Theory of Evolution
Whacky, dry and incredibly sharp Rob Newman and his one man sketch show are not to be missed this Fringe.
