Robin has been storytelling for over a decade and acting for a lot longer than that!
His amusing, energetic and engaging performances have enthralled audiences all over the UK. He regularly tells stories in libraries, schools and museums but the wonderful thing about storytelling is that it can be done almost anywhere! Grand ballrooms, stately homes, fields, orchards and even sheds have all been home to Robin’s stories at one time or another.
Lovely things that people have said about him…
“The man who ran the session was INCREDIBLE. So talented, so patient, so caring and calm - it was amazing. My kids will remember this event for ages and they showed all their family the puppets and theatres they made. It was such a fantastic workshop. I feel like the man running it went above and beyond to make it brilliant. I'd love to see more of his shows.”
