Doctor Who fans, get ready to laugh. The Doctor is about to face his greatest challenge: his number one fan.
In Rob Lloyd’s cult favourite show Who, Me, the loveable super-fan and comedian puts The Doctor on trial: Is Doctor Who (the television show) guilty of inciting in Rob a debilitating obsession, or has it shaped him into a well-rounded, mentally-sound member of society?
Court is now in session.
2013 sees the return of Who, Me (which had sell-out seasons at the 2012 Adelaide Fringe, 2011 Melbourne Fringe and the 2013 Melbourne International Comedy Festival). The Adelaide leg of the international tour celebrates the 50th anniversary of the show’s inspiration; the British Sci-Fi classic TV show, Doctor Who.
If you’re a complete Doctor novice however, don’t despair. As Chortle (AUS) put it: ‘…there’s more on the inside of this show that appears on the outside, and it’s more about Lloyd’s own story than it is about the good Doctor.’
For over 10 years Rob Lloyd has been working professionally in the Australian comedy scene, and as an actor of stage and screen. Since 2011 Rob has developed, created and been involved in a number of projects specifically focused on everyone’s favourite Time Lord, Doctor Who. From one-man shows to podcasts, from comedy-educational shows to completely improvised original Doctor Who stories…Rob certainly has made an effort to offer a wide variety of Doctor Who-based live entertainment.
Glam Adelaide’s 2012 review said: “Lloyd’s comical story easily relates to anyone with an obsession. Those who don’t have one may feel like they’re missing out on some fun!” and “If you sit through Rob Lloyd’s ode to obsession you have no other choice than to get your geek on.”
Rob Lloyd’s solo show Who, Me was created in collaboration with Scott Gooding and Vicious Fish Theatre.
