Rob Speight's new one hour work in progress, “It’s About Time,” brings together the clever, the curious, and the downright strange elements of time. He’s not here to give you a physics lecture, but he is here to make you think about why time never quite works the way you expect. Whether it’s trying to beat the clock or wondering where the last decade went, Rob tackles the absurdity of how we experience time—and how it seems to experience us.
This is not about running late, but about the deeper stuff: how history is just a well-edited story written by whoever came out on top, how our memories shape-shift over the years, and how science might have more questions about time than answers. Rob’s approach is sharp but never loses the human side—because, after all, we’re all in this time thing together, trying to make sense of it.
If you’ve ever felt like you were in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” story, where each decision sends you down a different timeline, this is the show for you. Rob brings these musings to life with a comedic touch that’s grounded but never predictable. Quantum physics, manifestation, and why time flies when you’re having fun—Rob’s got it covered, and in a way that makes the complex ideas feel effortless.
“It’s About Time” is not just a show, it’s an exploration. Expect laughs, thought-provoking moments, and maybe a little head-scratching as Rob refines this work-in-progress ahead of its full debut at the Edinburgh Festival in 2025. This is the smart, engaging comedy you’ve been waiting for. There are literally no knob jokes... at the moment!
