“That was the worst thing ever."
Fans of The Office and Hot Tub Time Machine comedian/musician Craig Robinson are demanding refunds after the US superstar’s show in Perth on Monday night.
Robinson wrapped his first ever Australian tour with backing band The Nasty Delicious at WA’s Rosemount Hotel earlier this week, a venue that many thought unsuitable for a gig they weren’t expecting.
Ticketholders are now taking to Facebook to demand refunds and air their grievances.
“The most shit show I've ever seen...feel like I need a shower...absolutely terrible,” commented one punter on the event page.

“Routine? It was waiting about two hours for him to come out and have his band play instrumentals for the whole time while he spoke a sentence every so often and made no jokes,” said another.
“That was the worst thing ever how do we go about refunds?”
Promoters Nice Events described the tour as “the perfect combination of stand up and music comedy”.
Robinson sat behind a keyboard the entire show, which meant he was below sight line and therefore not visible to a majority of the audience.
“Just walked out of Craig Robinson Perth because of the ridiculous set up in a pub. Couldn't see a thing!” commented another punter.
On the night, the room was full when Robinson hit the stage around 10pm and by midnight most of the crowd had dissipated, with only a handful of seemingly incomplete jokes being dished out between 10-minute long jam sessions.
The Music has reached out to Nice Events and the Rosemount for comment. The hotel has requested feedback from attendees on its Facebook page, also commenting, “Many thanks for your time and energy in relation this performance.”
