Rob Hughes: A quirky, slightly surreal comic who waxes lyrical on subjects as diverse as the bitter lives of the unpublished Mr.Men and Robert Mugabes Facebook page, Rob is respected as a writer of 'sublime' material. He mixes truth with fiction in a comedy cocktail that'll get your head in a spin as he strikes a perfect balance between beautifully crafted puns, observational comedy and anecdotes so absurd you'll want them to be true.
