Robert is a superb and consistently funny and inventive comedian. From his first flushes of comic promise that acquired his placements and awards in prestigious new act competitions he has quickly moved on to build greater success and now, as a sought after performer, has an original comic gift that has been seen in many clubs across the country, praised by press, fellow comic and punter. He was also featured at the Edinburgh festival in a guest spot in Arthur Smiths ARTUART theatre show.

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.

Press quotes

‘Very Funny fantastic oddball’ Tim Arthur, London Timeout

‘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 April 2009, Featured as one of the ‘15 faces of the future’

BBC: 'Robert White is a ball of comedic energy so sharp and expansive you could almost feel the static crackling through your hair. His set comprised of musical excerpts, improvised composition and sounds and harsh comedic superlatives. His sweet, sincere appearance is in sharp contrast to the deluge of perverse wordplay and hilariously disgraceful insinuations. He is like the South Park character of stand up, appalling and shocking from beneath his blond hair and beautiful boyish looks. His absence of the slightest quiescence kept the audience on their toes in thorough entertainment. With his quick intelligence and child’s penchant for mayhem, his material and performance are extremely funny, shocking and original. He’s a spark amongst the daunting circuitry of the comedy hard drive. Fantastic!' Ione Harding BBC Club March 2009

'However, the evening belonged to the precociously talented Robert White. With his quickfire wit and relentless energy reminiscent of Lee Evans, he had the audience in the palm of his hand. This very gifted young man is surely destined for great things, and justifiably so.' By Courtney King, Brighton Argus July 2008
