WoW are delighted to host Rob Newman’s Philosophy Show at Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room as part of Writing on the Wall Festival ‘22. Rob Newman’s Philosophy Show sees the multi award-winning comedian weave together Nietzsche’s sunglasses, Showaddywaddy, Julius Caesar’s low traffic neighbourhoods, electric spiders and singing Neanderthals into a hilarious tour-de-force that offers hope for a changing world.
This new live show is a companion to Radio 4’s Half Full Philosophy Hour Listen to it here. His previous Radio 4 series, the Entirely Accurate Encyclopaedia of Evolution and Total Eclipse of Descartes won the BBC Audio Drama Awards for Best Comedy.
‘Hugely entertaining, gleefully jaunty and refreshingly intelligent… I loved it.’ The Guardian ‘He is one amazing comedian’ Time Out ‘Intellectually charged and adorably ambitious…a delightfully digestible dose of brain food’ The Times
Rob has been writing and performing comedy for radio, television and stage since the late eighties. He has also written four novels and two non-fiction books. His late 2000’s one-man show, A History Of Oil has never been more relevant and is WELL worth a watch. Seventeen years ago he coined the phrase No Planet B, which has since entered the language.
