Multi-award-winning comedian, writer and podcaster Rob Auton has announced that his first stand-up comedy special The Time Show will be released this Sunday 15th December on YouTube. 

 

The Time Show is a comedy/theatre/spoken word show that received critical acclaim at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe and went on to tour the UK to sell-out crowds. Following on from his much applauded shows about talking, hair, sleep, water, faces, the sky and the colour yellow, Rob turned his attention to time. 

 

The show was recorded at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate – one of the smallest theatres in the world – in March 2022, is directed by Stuart Laws (James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome, Nish Kumar: Your Power, Your Control) and is produced by Turtle Canyon and Plosive. 

 

Rob Auton said: ‘I am really pleased to be able to share this film with people. Getting to work with such a good team on a show I loved performing was a real highlight of my life so far in comedy and performance.’ 

 

Stuart Laws said: ‘I’ve always loved Rob Auton’s comedy, it takes you to a different place and hits such a different rhythm to other comedians so I was thrilled to be given the chance to bring that mood to the screen in Rob’s first comedy special. Excited for people to see it.’

 

Naomi Parnell of Plosive said: ‘Rob is such a special performer and his shows have always blended expert comedy with moments of great profundity in the most beautiful ways. It’s been a delight to work on this film alongside the brilliant Turtle Canyon who have captured the unique essence of Rob’s live shows on camera and we’re excited for audiences to share in the magic of it.’

 

As well as live comedy and spoken word, Rob recently appeared on the latest series of Starstruck (BBC) and has also previously appeared on Miracle Workers (TBS), The End of the F***ing World (Netflix/Channel 4) and The Russell Howard Hour (Sky). His critically-acclaimed podcast, The Rob Auton Daily Podcast, has twice won Gold at the British Podcast Awards. 

 

The Time Show will be available from 11am on 15/12 on Turtle Canyon Comedy’s YouTube channel below.
