Robin Boot to headline Comedy Night
Join us on Friday 19th June for our summer Comedy Night at the Tap.
Rural Roars have lined up another rocking night of comedy!
Robin Boot - headliner
Tim Biglowe
Donna Williams
Mel Byron - MC

A large dose of clever wordplay, a smattering of darkly surreal lyrics, a dollop of innuendo, a liberal serving of tasty guitar skills, sprinkle in some percussive feet and add a soupcon of beautiful hair, mix them all together and you get Robin Boot's Rockomedy. He's guaranteed to fill your belly with laughter! Robin has been performing as a comedian since 2012 and as a musician for over a decade before that. He has taken seven, hour-long shows to Edinburgh Fringe and enjoyed full houses every year.
Robin’s comedic style is very relaxed yet sharp-witted, his ability as a guitarist makes him stand out from other musical acts and he interacts effortlessly with an audience. Robin performs at comedy nights, fringe festivals, music festivals and corporate events all over the world. Robin is also an actor and model.
“Robin Boot's deliciously dark & surreally silly songs are an absolute hoot... catch him, you won't be disappointed” - Dead Parrot Society
