Rob Barratt - Comic Poet, Humourist and Singer

Rob Barratt is a Dudley-born and Cornwall-based comic poet, humourist and singer whose brain-tickling, word-mangling performances combineclever wordplay, verse and song with satire, parody and audience participation.He tackles subjects as diverse as squid, data-driven education, chocolate, Neanderthal politics, Scottish weather, distressed furniture, pissoirs and his relationship with potatoes but beneath the humour lieserious and thought-provoking themes.In recent years, Rob has appeared at folk, literature and arts festivals and venues across the British Isles and Australia, establishing himself as a distinctive and original voice in comic poetry.This is not only clever but I think its very funny.
