ROB NEWMAN:
LIVE ON STAGE
Saturday 14th January
7.30pm
£18.50 Standard
£11 Concession
Fresh from his BBC Radio 4
series, Rob Newman On
Air, the award-winning
comedian’s new show is a
stand-up epic that goes from
cave paintings to car-free
cities, asking: who are we?
where are we going? and
how do spiders fly?
Rob Newman tells a story of
how dancing in step saved
prehistoric humans and how
new scientific discoveries
may help us take the right
steps to a life after oil.
“The funniest comedian I
have ever seen.” - Sunday
Times
"Newman combines proper
scientific argument with
dazzling shafts of wit." - The
Times
"Refreshingly intelligent and
hugely entertaining!” - The
Guardian
