Robin Leetham

Most recently he has been performing the critically acclaimed one man show “Shakespeare’s Fool’ (Tortive Theatre) at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, International Shakespeare Festivals in Romania & York and an extensive UK tour. The 5 star reviewed show was created during the covid pandemic then readied for the end of the various lockdowns and has been touring ever since its smash hit run in Edinburgh.

Of the more surreal moments in his career Rob was sent into the Big Brother House in a clowning capacity, played keyboards for Jasper Carrot at the Birmingham NEC and performed as ‘Slippery Sid’ in front of the Monarchs formally known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in a slapstick silent comedy stunt show!
