About this show
After 20 years of being a comedian, and a slight hiatus, Bob returns to the fringe with his eighth solo show about that sinking feeling we all have these days. Come and enjoy the show before the complete collapse of civilisation (that does sound bleak but there will be jokes and lots of them). 'Wonderfully anarchic' (Skinny). 'Deadpan, sinister, miserable and absolutely brilliant!' (Punchlineuk.wordpress.com).
