ROB AUTON
@RobertAuton
www.robauton.com
Rob is a York-born, London-based poet and comedian who has had two collections of writing and illustrations published by Burning Eye Books and has had his poetry featured as short films on Channel 4. Rob also starred in and co-wrote the short film The Peamaster which was nominated for best short film at the 2012 Milan Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the 2015 Arts Foundation Spoken Word Prize in association with the Southbank Centre.
Rob Auton is well known in the public domain for his critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows, which tour all around the country regularly, and in 2013 even landed himself the 2013 ‘Dave Funniest Joke of the Fringe’ Award. One of the Edinburgh Fringe’s most consistently successful acts, his one man poetry shows The Yellow Show (2012), The Sky Show (2013), The Face Show (2014), The Water Show (2015) and The Sleep Show (2016) have all been 5 star reviewed sell-out performances, and he is now writing ‘The Hair Show’ ahead of 2017’s Fringe.
Yes, The Sleep Show is intelligent, perceptive, and deeply profound. But it’s also hilarious.’
★★★★★
- Broadway Baby
“Comedy could use a few more Rob Autons – unafraid of sincerity and all the better for it.”
★★★★★
-The Skinny
“Charming, eccentric and uplifting, Auton is a talent to watch”
-The Independent
“poetical, philosophical, humane, completely charming and funny to boot”
- The Guardian
“Few artists have ever managed to consistently provide me with such joy and pleasure as Rob Auton. I always leave in awe of how good he is”

DOMINIC BERRY
@ThePoetDominic
www.dominicberry.net
Dominic Berry is an internationally award winning performance poet and workshop facilitator. He works with children and adults. His awards include winning New York’s infamous Nuyorican Poetry Cafe Slam, Manchester Literature Festival’s Superheroes of Slam and, as of 2017, seven Arts Council England Grants for the Arts awards to tour his theatrical verse across the UK.
Dominic has performed his poetry on BBC’s Greg and Celia’s Festivals Highlights (a showcase of the best of 2014′s Edinburgh Fringe), Channel 4′s My Daughter The Teenage Nudist and Channel 4 News. In his children’s poet ‘Dommy B’ persona, he has performed on BBC’s Rhyme Rocket.
With a versatile approach that can make you laugh, cry, think and feel through an unfiltered lens of rawness, Dominic’s brilliant writing is equalled by a sublime performance style - a real gem in UK spoken word. His 2016 Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Playing Mortal Kombat Guarantees You Inner Calm’ displayed his versatility on stage, transitioning from the deep emotional narrative to hilarious displays of wit and improvisation.
“Really very inspiring. I love the seriousness and the humour.”
- Benjamin Zephaniah
“Dominic is an exceptional force in the poetry and spoken word scene.”
- John McGrath Artistic Director, National Theatre Wales
“From the moment he started to speak we were totally captivated- the incredible way he uses words, the expression and energy of the delivery and the subject matter made him irresistible.”
- City Life Magazine
“Exuberant, lively, expressive and totally nuts, Dominic owns the stage.”
