Acts at The Funny Side
John Robins
After beginning stand-up in spring 2005 John reached the semi-final of "So You Think You're Funny" in Edinburgh that year after only a handful of gigs.
In 2007 he appeared in the prestigious "Comedy Zone Showcase" at The Edinburgh Festival to rave reviews.
In 2008 John teamed up with another talented newcomer to perform in "Carl Donnelly vs John Robins vs Predator" which received similar acclaim.
In 2009 he performed his first solo Edinburgh show "Skinny Love". An hour of new material intended as a work in progress for this show was nominated for "Best Debut Show" at the Leicester Comedy Festival Awards 2009.
As an act John represents the new wave of storyteller,
skilfully weaving narrative, improvisation and punchy gags into his unique, self-effacing style. As a compere John quickly made his name as one of the most quick-witted,
engaging MCs on the circuit. Always willing to expect the unexpected, John guarantees a great show for audiences and acts alike. He's the latest maverick to burst out of Bristol's
hotbed of talent and he has stories to tell, banter to have, and bombs to drop.
