The comedian knows a thing or two about the North East, and promises to bring relatable and hilarious skits about the North East to the South Shields audience.

Having gained a substantial following on social media by posting video skits as various North East fictional characters, Robin decided to bring his unique comedy style and his well-loved characters to a live audience.

Although Robin is from Newcastle, and currently resides in Gateshead, he views South Shields as his “second home”, having spent a fair amount of his life and career in the town, and thought it was the best place to start his tour.

Robin is known to push the boundaries of conventional comedy, with his show described as “not for the faint of heart”. The Robin Armstrong Show has been completely written and created by Robin himself, and hopes to showcase his comedic abilities in not only the North East, but across the UK too.

“Prepare to embark on a side-splitting journey that defies conventions and redefines the boundaries of laughter.”

Robin said of his upcoming South Shields show: “I have been out filming and promoting the show over the past few weeks and the response from the local Sanddancers has been amazing! They have welcomed me to their beautiful town and I can’t wait to entertain all the people of South Shields.”

The future for Robin looks bright, and he hopes to grow as a comedian, eventually reaching a wider UK audience.
