     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. A short collection of his work
      "Last Man With Sky" is 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.
