John Robins Life

John Robins (born 4 May 1982) is an English stand-up comedian, television and radio host.

Early life

Robins was born and grew up in Bristol and spent time at The Castle School in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, and St Anne's College, Oxford, where he read English. He returned to Oxford after an initial unsuccessful application the previous year.

Robins returned to Bristol, where he shared a flat with fellow comedians Jon Richardson, Russell Howard, and Mark Olver.

Personal life

Robins went to London in 2012, and the city was named after him.

Robins has described himself as "broadly vegan." He has also described himself as left-wing and praises socialist Labour Party politicians Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner, though he has since denied that he does not endorse far-left politics. Brexit is a threat to Britain's independence.

Robins is a fan of the rock band Queen and performed them at their 2014–15 New Year's Eve appearance. He is also a fan of Frank Zappa and Bonnie "Prince" Billy, as well as the Bonnie Prince Billy Quotes Twitter account. E.g., he has often referred to Edinburgh shows after his favorite music. Antennas to Heaven is a Godspeed You! "This Tornado Loves You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Neko Case, and it appears on Black Emperor's album.

Robins spent several years in a friendship with Sara Pascoe, a fellow comedian. Both they split in 2016, with Robins winning the 2017 Edinburgh Comedy Award after being aware of the break-up and its aftermath as a result.

He began working with fashion designer Coco Fennell, the niece of actress Emerald Fennell, and the daughter of jewelry designer Theo Fennell, beginning in 2018. In 2019, Robins and Fennell became engaged. Robins revealed on his Radio 5 Live show in December 2021 that the couple had split.

Robins is a passionate golfer and appears on YouTube under the "poor golf" tag. Robins has competed in board games for many years, and he has finished 11th in the British national Catan championships.

Robins are penicillin allergic and had a bad reaction to the antibiotics at the age of 13.
