Rob Deb: Heroquest Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
Rob Deb: Heroquest

Fantastic show, the woman who only gave Rob one star should hang her head in shame, sure, I guess she's just yet another example of the "normals" of this world crapping on the nerds, personally, I think the Nerds are by far the nicer people, man, this guy is funny and a totally upstanding dude, he suffered some serious hecklers on his last night which was a real shame as he should have gone out on a highnote. nRob is extremely tuned in to the nuances and failings of our common nerd culture but he also celebrates our strengths, our passion for life and the common gel that bonds us all together, recommended

Excellent show, well worth it. No encyclopaedic knowledge of geek culture is needed for about 95 per cent of t, but it does help with getting some of the quick off-the-cuff one-liners. Only critisim is that Rob does worry about upsetting his audience and going too geek culture on them. There's a word at the start of the show telling people that if they might not find the show to their tastes in terms of areas covered and then when people leave later on Rob apologises again. Perhaps because the show is free and there's zero control on the audience selecting to go Rob feels he owes them, but if he was a bit more proud of the set and let those who don't like it just get on with life perhaps it would be easier. However that being said my mum who knows nothing about computers, games, or geek culture would get plenty of the jokes so it's well worth your time.
