About this show

Everyone has at least one irrational fear…. in the case of Figaro Pho, he has them all! The Adventures of Figaro Pho is a series about a warm-hearted, adorable, quirky and mischievous character…who just happens to be afflicted with every phobia imaginable. He’s afraid of vampires, toilets, mad dogs, aliens, and even being stared at by a duck! He’s also petrified of being alone, and so Figaro has created a mechanical companion – a dog-like robot he calls Rivet. With such an onslaught of phobias, it would appear that Figaro’s life is a complete tragedy. Not so! Figaro is a creative genius, constantly constructing imaginative mechanisms and strategies to combat his phobias. Fantastical inventions fill his home. Things however do not always go to plan, and quite often Figaro needs the help of his robotic dog Rivet to get him out of a sticky situation.
