“He’s 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 You’re Funny Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998.

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.
