Rob Rouse
Rob Rouse traded a career in geography teaching for the comedy circuit within days of qualifying, and has spent close to three decades since becoming one of British comedy's most compelling storytellers, swinging between chaotic physical comedy and real warmth. He won Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1998, has appeared on Upstart Crow, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Celebrity Juice, and in 2025 picked up the UK Comedy Awards' Comics' Comic and the Yorkshire Comedy Awards' Best Act. He co-hosts the podcast The Unlikely Weightlifters with Tom Wrigglesworth. Unpredictable, in-the-room energy that peers like Greg Davies have publicly championed.
