Rob Newman: Where The Wild Things Were
This event is in the past
From Rob Newman comes a barnstorming new stand-up show about where we are and where we’re going.
From future cities and philistine film directors to Dorothy Parker’s Multiverse Diaries. Throw in Pythagorean gangsters, intellectual bingo callers and a crazy character called Arlo – and the result is a hilarious tour-de force utterly unlike anything else you will ever see anywhere else!
