Robert is a superb and consistently funny and inventive comedian. From his first flushes of comic promise in new-act competitions he has moved on to build greater success and now, as a sought after performer, has an award winning original comic gift that has been seen in many clubs across the country. Recently on taking himself to the Edinburgh Festival he received rave reviews and won The Malcolm Hardee award for comic originality, for his ‘enthusiastic unconventionality’, as well as having a joke  of his judged as one of the Top ten jokes of the fringe, according to the Dave Channel prize for this.

Robert’s seemingly un-assured appearance belies the assuredness of his words. Material derives from his abstract perspective with wordy and sometimes cruel humour, spontaneous musicality, obscure performance pieces and semi-improvised abstract off-shoots. It’s a collection of pockets of randomness all of which are very funny and truly engaging for the audience.

Debut Edinburgh Festival show 2010:
 ‘Get him on Shooting Stars - Robert White’s show is a jaw-dropping riot. ..... the mix of lewd innuendo, cheesy jokes, music hall songs played on a knackered keyboard and sound-effects games makes for a side-splitting hour.’ The List - Four stars ****

‘Delivering a mixture of stand up, songs, props and audience interaction, Robert White tries hard - and spectacularly succeeds ..... never seems to fail to provoke laughter’ Three weeks - Four stars ****

‘..... highly impressive, weirdly exciting, audacious hour ..... an unembarassable love of innuendo, musical pastiche, and a dash of unrequited poignancy....... he’s a frighteningly good performer .... His camp, musicality and relentlessness are perfect.’ Edinburghisfunny - Four stars ****

'Robert White is a ball of comedic energy so sharp and expansive you could almost feel the static crackling through your hair. .....  his material and performance are extremely funny and original. He’s a spark amongst the daunting circuitry of the comedy hard drive. Fantastic!' BBC

‘Robert White’s wildly improvisatory stand-up is part old fashioned music hall comedy, Eddie Izzardesque stream of conscious and just plain oddball. Whichever he’s Brilliant’ Attitude

“Very Funny fantastic oddball ..... A funny and brave act that exists in the hitherto unmapped space between the music hall comedies of Noel Gay, and autistic savantism” Timeout

‘Robert White, probably – no definitely – the only asperger (socially autistic), dyslexic, cross lateral, gay, quarter-welsh, ex-con, webbed toed comedian the circuit’ The Guardian

‘White takes hyperactive comedy to new heights. Occasionally he becomes so agitated that the audience doesn't know whether to laugh or call him an ambulance !. .... Brilliant’ The Skinny

‘Precociously talented…With his quickfire wit and relentless energy reminiscent of Lee Evans, he had the audience in the palm of his hand.’ Brighton Argus

‘He's manic, camp and mildly afflicted…absolutely cracking gags.’ Chortle
