Join us at The Pound Arts Centre for Rob Auton’s latest show, The Eyes Open and Shut Show. Award-winning comedian, writer, and actor Rob Auton, hailed as “brilliant” by Stewart Lee and “one of my absolute favourites” by Daniel Kitson, delves into the quirks of eyes open and shut with his unique blend of comedy and spoken word. Having explored themes like the colour yellow and sleep in his previous hits, Auton now investigates what makes us open or close our eyes. Praised for his originality and charm, this show promises laughter, reflection, and delightful eccentricity. Don’t miss this life-affirming performance, described as a “genuine original” by The Guardian and a “sunbeam from heaven” by The Mail On Sunday. Suitable for ages 14 and up.
