Minnie and I received a wonderful review from Fatea after our joint headline show at Big Comfy Bookshop in Coventry.
Robert Lane kicked off the evening with a warmth that only an accomplished performer can achieve. Lyrically up there with some of the best young artists this country has to offer and a very fine guitarist, his performance swung from humour to family, 12-bar blues to politics, and from scientific innovation to a song considered "too dark for radio".

Thanks to John Reed and Fatea for the review
Lorna Laidlaw is a British TV and stage actor known for her roles as Mrs Tembe in Doctors and Aggie Bailey in Coronation Street. This was an honest and funny chat about creativity, acting, the role of arts in society and the Birmingham accent. You'll love it!

On Wednesday night it was the first gig of my joint headline tour with Minnie Birch and it was pretty much perfect. Great venue with a sold out crowd of music fans listening to our songs and stories and singing along loud and proud. I love a venue where people can bring their own fish and chips too, more places should allow that! Thanks to Chris Live at Thornsett Road and Southy Taproom for having us.
Next stop Coventry on Friday.

I will be performing short form comedy with The Improlectuals at The Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton on Thursday 5th of December. The Arena is a great venue, and we are very much looking forward to returning.
The Improlectuals are an improv “super-group” made up of some of the finest improvisers from around the Midlands. They create completely new comedy sketches on the spot, based entirely on audience suggestions. Performances always feature Richard Baldwin (Wow Impro, Abbey Players) and Robert Lane (Foghorn Unscripted, Birmingham Rep, The Old Joint Stock Theatre) plus a rotating cast of talented improvisers.
“Slick comedy sketches,” “A great blend of performers who worked together well to create a great night of
comedy.” – Midlands Improv, May 2018
