Robin Allender has been played on NTS shows including youarelistening.to, with Fuchsia first played on 24 October 2020.

Hello! I am Robin Allender, a musician, comedian and podcaster from Bristol, now living in London.

I have played guitar, bass and keyboards with Gravenhurst, Lucinda Chua, The Revival Hour, DM Stith, Old Fire, Landslide Purist, Azalea City and Ed Dowie. My own music has been played on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.

In 2009, I joined the touring band of Yann Tiersen. Promoting Yann’s albums Dust Lane, Skyline and Infinity, I toured Europe, Russia, China, Australia, South America and the US.

Foxes in the Foyer, a collection of instrumental songs, was released on vinyl by Scissor Tail Editions in 2014. My most recent album, Underground River, was released in December 2023.

I am also a stand-up comedian. In 2017 I was a finalist in the So You Think You’re Funny? competition at the Edinburgh Fringe and in 2019 I got to the heats of the BBC Introducing Radio 4 Comedy Award.

I co-hosted the Moon Under Water and Your Own Personal Beatles podcasts, and recently presented The Clientele Podcast.
