ROB AUTON: THE YELLOW SHOW @ The Warren, Brighton. 11/05/2013

“Yellow, and yelcome” announces Rob Auton as his show, entirely about the colour yellow, begins. In actual fact, the show began at least five minutes previously with him awkwardly decorating the room with a multitude of yellow objects, handing yellow ribbon to someone in the front row and gesturing for them to pass it along until the entire crowd was wrapped in yellow and returning to the sound booth countless amounts of times to ensure ‘Yellow Submarine’ continued to irritatingly loop. Does this sound odd enough to you yet? Well, the following hour consisted of conversations between two envious sponges that are sick of seeing their old friend Spongebob popping up everywhere they look, poetry about shopping for pineapples, grapefruit and Marmite (for the lid) and the most epic way anybody has ever made a Berocca. All viewed through his homemade Yelevision glasses. Charming and incredibly bright.
