Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the returning show friend, the wonderful poet and standup ROB AUTON!
It's always a pleasure in Rob's company, and this episode is of course no exception. We start things off very quickly by jumping off the pleasantries diving board directly into the deep waters of life, comedy, craft and eveything else involved. And as always with Rob, you can expect unique takes and perspectives which are inspiring, intriguing and never fail to lead to somewhere you didn't think you'd get to. Much ground is covered including the connection of hydration to bloodwork, the many living quarters in Rob's past, libraries, festivals and incorporating live music into his setup, his history with the Fringe (and Pip's), show making and creating an audience, being positive in your self talk and attempting excitement. Wisdom and good chat are your rewards!
