Robyn Perkins

Robyn Perkins is a multi-award-winning American comedian based in London, renowned for her high-energy performances that blend scientific insight with personal anecdotes. She performs internationally, including in the UK, Singapore and Australia every year. Robyn's unique approach to comedy involves using her scientific background to explore and humorously dissect life's most emotionally charged topics, making them relatable and entertaining, as well as interesting and thought provoking. If you were going to put a tag line to it, it would be: Comedy that Assumes You Are Paying Attention.

Robyn produces and hosts her science comedy panel show "Comedy for the Curious" as well as "Shrink Wrapped: A Psychologist Analyses Comedians, Live on Stage". She has several science kids shows about animals, which are written and illustrated by herself. She has a rotating cast of incredible comedians who join her around the world for these shows. Her 2023 podcast "Lucy and Robyn Tackle a Wedding," further showcases her versatility and commitment to engaging audiences through various platforms.

Her innovative style has earned her accolades such as the Best in Comedy Award at the 2019 Sydney Fringe, a Weekly Comedy Award at Perth FRINGE WORLD in 2020 and 2025, and Best Comedy Act at the 2023 Shaftesbury Fringe.
