Rob Rouse
He’s a man with genuinely funny bones.

Rob Rouse is a born clown, a latter-day Stan Laurel.
Time Out
Bursting with originality, energy and enthusiasm. Eye wateringly hilarious.

Since winning the prestigious Channel 4 So You Think You’re Funny Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998, Rob Rouse has toured the world for the last 27 years!
Fortunately, over a quarter of a century in ‘the biz’ hasn’t made him in the slightest bit sensible..he has become one of our best comic storytellers, performing all over the world and he works long form narratives into hard-hitting, uncompromising hilarious tales filled with warmth and a sense of compassion for our collective human frailties.
He has to date taken eight successful shows to Edinburgh Festival to 4 and 5 star reviews and performed three sold out National Theatre tours alongside tour support for Jason Manford.
Funny Bones is Rob’s brand-new stand-up show: a relentlessly funny and daft evening of comedy, from a one-man whirlwind who pulls the audience into his craftily spun tall tales with bucketfuls of manic energy, first-class stagecraft, eerily convincing characters, and a barrage of brilliant one-liners.
His TV appearances include Upstart Crow (BBC), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Spoons (Channel 4), The Friday Night Project (Channel 4), Celebrity Juice (ITV2), Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave), John Bishop’s Only Joking (Sky) and Live at the Comedy Store (Comedy Central).
