Cottingham Comedy Club presents: Rob Rouse

A CCC fan favourite returns - and this one's a very big deal. We're absolutely delighted to announce Rob Rouse as our July headliner. A 27-year veteran of stand-up who has toured the world and still hasn't become even slightly sensible - Rob is a star of BBC's Upstart Crow, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Friday Night Project and Dave's One Night Stand, and winner of the prestigious Channel 4 So You Think You're Funny Award at Edinburgh back in 1998. His brand-new show Funny Bones is a relentlessly daft evening of comedy: manic energy, first-class stagecraft, eerily convincing characters, and a barrage of brilliant one-liners from a one-man whirlwind. And we've somehow got him back in a room above a pub in Cottingham. Don't take our word for it. Here's what VERY IMPORTANT people have said: "One of my favourite comics. A very silly and funny man" - Greg Davies"Rob Rouse is a joy machine, a natural clown" - Kerry Godliman"I have been helpless with laughter watching Rob on stage. Pure, joyful, hilarious stand up. He's one of the best there is" - Marcus Brigstocke"An extraordinary comedian" - Jessica Fostekew, The Observer"He's a man with genuinely funny bones" - The Sunday Times????? "Comedy guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods... always a step ahead of your expectations" - Edinburgh Evening News????? "Bursting with originality, energy and enthusiasm, Rob Rouse is a delirious but hilarious man" - The List His trophy cabinet:?? UK Comedy Awards Comics' Comic Best Act 2025?? Yorkshire Comedy Awards Best Act 2025?? Channel 4 So You Think You're Funny Winner Opening the show: Jack McLean - Yorkshire's own multi-award-winning rising star, Semi-Finalist of the BBC New Comedy Awards 2023, and named Hull New Comedian of the Year 2022 and Yorkshire Comedy Awards Best Breakthrough Act 2023.
