This is a wonderful and inventive show, and a totally new take on comedy. I really enjoyed watching not only the stories Robyn Perkins had to tell but also the funny questions people in the audience came up with. I thoroughly enjoyed this show, will be looking for Robyn again next year!!!

A genuine and enjoyable hour with a great comedian having fun with her audience. Having been to this and her science shows this is different to them but no less funny and enjoyable. If you want a fringe experience where you don't know what will happen being guided by a skilled hand this is worth your time.

Quite suffocating: felt like being trapped in a room with someone having a self involved manic episode. Claimed to have 4 degrees, but the only topic they were capable of talking about in any depth was themselves. Many jokes hinged on outdated and hurtful stereotypes, she describes her father and wife as being autistic and then tells stories about them being rude, obnoxious, dismissive and uncaring. I am autistic and this was a bad joke 20 years ago. It had already ran 10 mins over time (rule #1 surely as a respect to people getting to other shows) and I was clawing the fake wall looking for a sly exit when she whipped out a poorly made powerpoint on SLUGS and why they were so cool. I felt my soul die. It's called 10,000 ideas but she really only explores 2: ego and insecurity. Made passive aggressive remarks to those who didn't want to pay the suggested £15 for the show on the way out which was also pretty rude (surely rule #2)
