Robin Morgan: The Spark

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Presented by Little Wander in association with Sophie Chapman Talent As featured on BBC Two’s Mock The Week and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, Robin Morgan is back on the road with a hilarious brand new show, The Spark – his biggest tour to date. His previous shows have dealt with a proposal, marriage, kids and a vasectomy. So what’s next on the list? Divorce? No, not divorce. It’s about how to keep the spark alive. Not just in a marriage, but also in yourself? Robin’s been a busy bee since the last tour: he created and hosts the topical comedy panel show What Just Happened? for BBC Radio Wales; he’s supported Adam Kay and Sophie McCartney on their nationwide tours, and has written for shows such as Have I Got News For You, The Weakest Link and Bake Off: The Professionals. He’s also become somewhat of a favourite on The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4), in an episode so popular that even the government complained about it. Robin’s shows have always been about others. Now it’s time to focus on himself. Photo credit: Michelle Huggleston
