Jon Robertson: Excitable Boy

John Robertson is an Australian-born comedian who has built a devoted following in the UK through his wildly improvised, audience-driven shows. Excitable Boy is his latest live hour, described as high-octane crowd-work comedy built fresh from scratch each night, with Robertson feeding off whoever happens to be in the room. Expect no fixed script, no two performances alike, and the real possibility that he will climb over seats to reach you. He is also the creator of The Dark Room, the legendary live-action video game show that earned the British Comedy Guide's best-reviewed comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025. The Daily Telegraph called him "a force of nature", and it is hard to argue.
