Robert Garnham, Professor of Whimsy, is a veteran of over fifteen years performing comedy poetry all over the place. His work has taken him from the Albert Hall to the Eden Project to the London Palladium to the New York LGBT cabaret scene, with occasional glimpses on TV. He was acclaimed as having one of the funniest one-liners at the Edinburgh Fringe, and was shortlisted as Saboteur Spoken Word Artist of the Year. His poetry is fun-loving and surprising yet deals with serious issues such as LGBT rights and mental health. His show ‘Yay!’, toured the UK in 2021/22.
