Cottingham Comedy Club presents Rob Rouse plus support and pizza
Advertisement
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 https://see.tickets/cccrouse
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. Quick-witted and conversational, Jack has supported Josh Jones, Fiona Allen, Morgan Rees and more on tour, and opened a Chris Ramsey and Friends Gala night at Hull Arena. A Hull lad done good.
"One of the best new acts on the circuit" — Josh Jones
Plus two more up-and-coming acts to be announced, all held together (sort of) by your regular co-hosts — award-winning compère and Fresh Prince of Hull Fair Jed Salisbury and Stone Cold Admin Manager Rich Austin.
🍕 Dough Punks are back serving up their excellent pizzas from 6:30pm
🎤 Show starts 8pm (or whenever we get round to it)
