Robert Aug

In this talk, “How to Grow in Bad Lighting”, Robert Aug will explore what it really means to grow — not upwards, but sideways, backwards, and occasionally in circles.

From childhood dreams that didn’t age well to glamorous detours in showbiz and unexpected moments of self-reinvention, Robert will share a story about growth that’s less about becoming someone new and more about outgrowing the old. With sharp humor, honesty, and just enough chaos, he will invite us to see growth not as perfection, but as a kind of creative gardening — messy, hopeful, and often done in bad lighting.

A true creative at heart:

Robert is a Swedish performer, writer, and speaker who moves effortlessly between comedy, storytelling, and reflection. Known for his alter ego Gretchen (@planetgretchen on Insta) — a razor-sharp, larger-than-life persona celebrated on stages and social media — Robert blends humor and honesty to explore identity, transformation, and the art of becoming who you are (or sometimes, who you aren’t).

Off stage, he works as a moderator, DJ, and creative consultant, helping brands and audiences connect through emotion, laughter, and a healthy dose of absurdity. Whether he’s talking about personal growth, performance, or the beauty of contradiction, Robert’s stories always leave you entertained, slightly off-balance, and oddly inspired.✨
