Following his second consecutive British Podcast Award win and a critically acclaimed, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe earlier this year, multi award-winning comedian, podcaster, and writer Rob Auton (Starstruck, The End of the F***ing World, Miracle Workers) is set to embark on his biggest tour yet with The Eyes Open and Shut Show in the New Year.
The news coincides with Rob announcing that his first stand-up comedy special The Time Show will be released this Sunday 15th December at 11am on Turtle Canyon Comedy’s YouTube, here. Recorded at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate – one of the smallest theatres in the world – the special is directed by Stuart Laws (James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome, Nish Kumar: Your Power, Your Control) and is produced by Turtle Canyon and Plosive.
With over 39 performances nationwide, The Eyes Open and Shut Show tour kicks off with a week-long run at London’s Soho Theatre Main House on 27thJanuary and culminates at Leeds’ City Varieties Musical Hall on 3rd May. Through his trademark acclaimed unique humour and perspective, Rob will explore the nature of our approach to the world through our eyes – both open and shut – interweaving guided meditations with evocative imagery. Examining how language shapes our perception in these states, Rob seamlessly transforms the everyday into the extraordinary, leading audiences to “walk out feeling transformed. And fully alive” (The Scotsman).
