Robin Cairns is a performance poet. Having written plays, music and journalism he turned to verse by chance on millenium night in Manchester Airport. He had no idea it could be so much fun. To many people Robin is a comic poet. To himself he is a poet using comedy as a way of buying time to offer his tuppenceworth to the world.
Robin travels to perform across Scotland on a regular basis, at poetry nights, slams, comedy clubs, ceilidhs (lots of ceilidhs) after-dinner engagements, in schools, in libraries, rock festivals, arts festivals, what have you got? He has had work published in various collections, including "Skein Of Geese" (the book resulting from the gathering at the Stanza poetry festival of 100 poets) and "Glasgow Tales" published by Endpapers. Two short collections of his work, "Last Man With Sky" and “Old Lochgelly,” are in print and available to buy.
Robin is never happier than when he has an audience laughing - as long as he knows he has something up his sleeve to squeeze a tear out of them soon .
