Robin's career is a testament to his versatility in the entertainment industry. In 1990, he embarked on his stand-up comedy journey at the Edinburgh Festival, which led him to success with his Book Club act and the Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy in 2006. Alongside stand-up, he has worked as a comedy writer and performer on shows like Channel 4's 11 O'Clock and appeared on popular TV shows like The Office and Mock The Week.
Robin’s career is a unique blend of comedy and science. His passion for science is evident in his regular contributions to scientific events and festivals. He co-created The Incomplete Map of the Cosmic Genome, an online science magazine featuring contributors such as Stephen Fry, Chris Hadfield, and Stewart Lee. Robin's ability to combine science and entertainment in his variety shows has earned him the reputation of a 'becardiganed polymath' by the Guardian. This title captures his unique blend of intellect and humour.
Robin is a great choice if you're looking for an intellectual, funny and entertaining speaker for your event. His latest book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity, showcases not only his passion for science and curiosity, but also his deeply personal reflections on navigating anxiety, attention, and difference. Drawing on his own experiences and conversations with psychologists, scientists, and others, Robin offers a witty and insightful perspective on the quirks of the human mind and the value of embracing how we each see the world.
