"Nothing short of hysterical" – The List
"‘The most intelligent stand-up you’ve never heard of" – GQ
💥 ROBERT WHITE
‘Hello and welcome to me, Robert White, the only Autistic, gay, dyslexic, cross-lateral, quarter- welsh, webbed-toed, hyper-sensitive, Gluten-intolerant, pseudo-genius, musical comedian there is…. probably!’
Robert worked his way up the stand-up scene, starting in 2004 and found early success as a finalist in the prestigious Hackney Empire competition 2006, he has gone from strength to strength and in 2010 won the Malcolm Hardee main award at the Edinburgh Festival. He now is a sought after act who regularly performs in big clubs, little clubs, those in-between, theatres and festivals around the UK and abroad, after gaining 2nd Place Britain’s Got Talent – 2018.
'Just one of the funniest performers I’ve ever seen, I’ve never laughed like that !’ – David Walliams
‘He may sound like a niche act, but the musical comedian has managed to garner a wide appeal with his chaotic style and improvised musical skills.’ – The Sun
‘ … souped-up risqué keyboard-based songs, waspish asides and neurotically charged camperie from a hyperactive man-child who is among the most original of this year’s Fringe…. Superb’ –Telegraph
'surprisingly original, and funny…. exactly the sort of act who should win Britain’s Got Talent.' – The Daily Mail
💥 COLIN OWENS [COMPERE]
Our compere and your host for Stand in The Basement, Colin Owens, is an award-winning stand-up comedian, who has worked with Jimmy Carr, the teams behind The Inbetweeners and Mighty Boosh. Described as ‘laconic and charming’, Colin talks about his failings, inadequacies, mistakes and general stupidity, all tinged with an air of paranoia and insecurity, but delivered with supreme confidence and sexual edginess!
“Genuinely Brilliant” Jimmy Carr
“Brilliant performer” Frank Skinner
“Brilliant, like a funny neighbor” Tim Vine
“I knew he’d be funny and he was” Michael McIntyre
