“One of the best MCs in the business”
BBC Radio 4 · Comedy from the Wilderness
He has performed beneath the Parthenon sculptures at the British Museum, raced inflatable flamingos in Bodrum and played to 5,000 people in an aircraft hangar in Dublin. Festival field, brand launch or private party, he reads the room fast, gets everyone playing and keeps the night moving.
“Wild, colourful and left the audience enamoured”
Edinburgh Festival Magazine ★★★★★
The ShambOlympics
Robin hosts the ShambOlympics, Shambala Festival’s gloriously silly mass-participation game show, packed with characters, absurd challenges and a grand finale. He helped shape it into what it is today, and it has been voted Best Entertainment at Shambala five years running (2021–2025).

Bespoke games and shows

On the French Riviera he was commissioned to take over an Edwardian seaside hotel, writing, casting and MCing a show for a company of 30, with games, character comedy and Groove Armada on the bill.
“An incredible bunch — creative, in control, flexible, efficient, and just plain fun”
