After studying music and majoring in composition at university – which included writing a symphony – and with a love of musicals and songwriting, Robert has continued to focus in the area of song and script as much as  he could whilst his comedy career grew. Firstly as a teacher in writing songs, musicals and scripts for school, and then through comedy in his own work and for others, from sketches, to song commissions to full larger works, Robert continued to grow this area of his creativity, which is really his first love and greatest passion, and over the years he has collaborated on all sorts of undertakings, as well as building up his own work.

Pablo

​

Robert is delighted to be a writer on the next series of Pablo. This kid’s cartoon for CBBC, in collaboration with Crayola, tells the ups and downs in an autistic boy’s life. His woes, worries and wins are portrayed in a  charmingly engaging and laugh out loud funny fashion. Using Robert’s experiences from his own autistic life, his time in teaching and bringing his special comic touch, he has created scripts that are smart and hilarious, with maybe with a few twists in the tail. 

Look out for it coming soon!
