Rob Rouse: Funny Bones

Star of BBCs Upstart Crow, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Friday Night Project and Daves One Night Stand.

Hes a man with genuinely funny bones The Sunday Times

Recently crowned Comics Comic Best Act of the Year 2025 by the UK Comedy Awards, and also voted Best Act at the 2025 Yorkshire Comedy Awards, Rob Rouse has been one of the most beloved and brilliantly bonkers comedians on the circuit since winning the prestigious Channel 4 So You Think Youre Funny Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998.

Funny Bones is Robs 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.

One of my favourite comics. A very silly and funny man Greg Davies

Rob Rouse is a joy machine, a natural clown Kerry Godliman

An extraordinary comedian Jessica Fostekew, The Observer

I have been helpless with laughter watching Rob on stage. Pure, joyful, hilarious stand up. Hes one of the best there is. Hes a very silly man. Very silly indeed Marcus Brigstocke

Rob is always hilarious, and has total command, without fail he leaves a room vibrant and joyful Nina Conti
