Illawarra Folk Club presents Rob Barratt in Concert
Event description
Rob Barratt is a Dudley-born and Cornwall-based comic poet, humourist and singer who combines clever word play, verse and song with satire, parody and audience participation. Rob deals with such important topics as squid, data-driven education, Neanderthal politics, the weather in Scotland, distressed furniture and his relationship with potatoes. But beneath the comedy there lurk serious issues. In recent years Rob has appeared at folk, literature and arts festivals all over the UK and in Ireland and Australia.
“Rob revels in wily wordplay & rogue rhyming but his conceits & surrealist forays into the imagination take the ruddy biscuit. Hilarious!” Adrian Mealing (UK Touring and Spooky Men’s Chorale)
“This is not only clever but I think it’s very funny” (Mike Harding)
“His head is well and truly located in ‘Planet Barratt’, clearly a place of wonderfully bizarre inspiration” (Coventry Telegraph)
