Lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Award joint winner John Robins has added 28 extra shows to his forthcoming UK tour, The Darkness of Robins. The tour will now take in 65 dates around the UK in total. Beginning in Leamington on 25th January 2018 and concluding at Machynlleth Comedy Festival on 4th May 2018. The London show at the Eventim Apollo on April 26 includes "Welsh support", which may or may not be his fellow Radio X presenter Elis James.
London’s self-styled saddest DJ™ and Celebrity Mastermind star would love to promise The Darkness of Robins isn’t an extended yell of a show, but he can’t. He’ll shout, snarl and sneer in his attempts to grapple with life’s fall-outs, break-ups and the aftermath in what promises to be a pivotal moment in his being. Powerful, angst-ridden comedy at its finest, this is a must-see show that secured the Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Show prize at the Edinburgh Fringe just gone.
Robins said: “To take a show like this, which is at heart quite personal and intimate, to some of the best rooms in the country is a real challenge and I cannot wait! This show is the result of a strange and transformative year, and it means a great deal that people want to come and see it. Especially touching have been the responses from both men and women who saw themselves in the frustrations and self-reproach the show explores, and most importantly found themselves laughing at a man in his darkest hour. I hope everyone that sees it finds some motivation to view their own moments of darkness in a brighter, more forgiving way.”
