If you'd like to see Robin's new solo comedy play, The "How Are You?" Game, running from Sept 30th to Oct 2nd at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden then you can find tickets here.

It's time for some simple and complex thinking about the qualities of simplicity and complexity. These are qualities which many would consider desirable in a script, but some might think are negative. We'll consider how a mix of the two can create great scripts, and applying them to concepts, stories and characters can ensure depth and dimensions, but also clarity and comprehension.

And it's a pretty short episode as it was the middle of a heatwave when Robin recorded it and he melted halfway through. So that's nice.
