The Sea Is Big Enough to Take It
In 2018 Robin debuted his solo comedy hour, The Sea Is Big Enough to Take It, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — a tender story of his relationship with his mum. It was recommended by the Daily Express, the Daily Mirror and The Independent, and described as:
“Elegantly constructed with irreverence, verve and ebullient comic acting” — The Scotsman ★★★★
“As thought provoking as it is funny” — Broadway Baby ★★★★
“If you’re not visibly moved by the end you might want to check your pulse” — The Edinburgh Reporter ★★★★
“Delightfully strange, moving and hilarious” — One4Review ★★★★
Robin talked to Cariad Lloyd about the show and his mum on Griefcast.
