Rob LLoyd & Scott Gooding

Who, Me is a Doctor Who themed stage show directed and co-devised by Scott Gooding, starring comedian Rob Lloyd and produced by Laura Milke Garner. Lloyd uses a fake courtroom setting to analyse whether Doctor Who has made him an obsessive or a better person, with stories and photos from his childhood.

In 2013 the show was toured to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Critical reaction

Simon Wong for 3 News in New Zealand considered it was still enjoyable even for non Who fans, though they might miss a few jokes. Edinburgh Reviews gave it 3/5, finding it felt a bit rushed and had problems adjusting for the audience, comprising both children and adults, saying that the show was more personal history than something for fans of the TV program. The Skinny gave the Edinburgh production 4/5, finding Lloyd "funny" and "endearing". Three Weeks found the same production fast-paced even if some jokes would go over people's heads. What's On Comedy, reviewing the production at the Seymour Centre in Sydney, noted Lloyd's resemblance to both David Tennant and Matt Smith, and said it would probably appeal to theatre nerds as much as Doctor Who nerds, or indeed to nerds of any sort.
