Rob Kemp (@RobotKemp) is the creator of the show the Elvis Dead (@ReadElvisDead). This show has won or been nominated for over a dozen awards including Leicester Comedy Festival Awards Best Show, Best Musical Show, Best Poster, The Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer and Chortle's best newcomer and music / variety act. After so much success, how has this changed Rob’s career? How is he dealing with the pressure of writing a follow up show? What is the future for the Elvis Dead and more?

This is an in-depth look into what it is like to get a lot of success in a very short space of time after a long time of not getting that much attention. Are awards worth what we’re told they are? Do they help sell a show? Which ones have the most impact if any?
