American-born, UK based Robyn Perkins has taken the global comedy scene by storm, with rave reviews and awards, including winning the Best Comedy Award at Sydney Fringe in 2019 and Shaftesbury Fringe in 2023. Combining real-life stories, her affable charm, and sometimes even her background in biology, Robyn takes audiences through not only some hilarious tales but she can scientifically prove how ridiculous they are as well! Her show Mating Selection won a Weekly Comedy Award at Perth's 2020 FRINGE WORLD. She is in high demand as a comic, at clubs including Sydney Comedy Store and The Glee, Komedia, and Top Secret Comedy Club in the UK.
