A little less Attenborough, more cybernetic furry Louis Theroux...
Emperor Spy Cam A10N3 has returned from his Antarctic investigation for the BBC.
In his performance review he’ll be covering his infiltration of a penguin colony, struggles to adapt to their complex and contradictory society, and his code-breaking feelings towards one of the subjects.
A bizarre, irreverent comedy about depersonalisation and the neurodivergent experience through the ‘lens’ of an undercover robotic penguin.
OffComm Award & Baloney Award 2023 Winner
“His jokes are smart, relevant and just outright hilarious, very obviously having a natural gift of a comedian”
★★★★★ Theatre & Tonic (Robot Penguin)
“The show also has an incredible ability to also be sensitive and address the audience when tackling deeper themes, such as neurodivergence, love, self-identity, morality, death, rejection and consequence, without compromising the humour or heart of the show.”
★★★★★ Adventures in Theatreland (Robot Penguin)
