“Rob Auton is the mother freaking greatest” James Acaster

Award winning writer, comedian and actor Rob Auton brings his latest show ‘The Eyes Open and Shut Show’ to INSERT NAME OF VENUE HERE. Rob has written ten hit Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy/theatre/spoken-word shows on specific themes including the colour yellow in ‘The Yellow Show’, sleep in ‘The Sleep Show’ and hair in ‘The Hair Show’.

The Eyes Open and Shut Show is a show about eyes when they are open and eyes when they are shut. With this show Rob wanted to explore what he could do to himself and others with language when eyes are open and shut. After writing ten shows on specific themes, he wanted to think about what makes him open his eyes and what makes him shut them.

TV credits include – Starstruck (BBC), Cold Feet (ITV), The End of the F*cking World (Netflix/Channel 4), Miracle Workers (TBS), The Russell Howard Hour (Sky), Stand-Up Central With Rob Delaney (Comedy Central).
