“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones” — The Sunday Times
Since winning the prestigious Channel 4 So You Think You’re Funny Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998, Rob Rouse has toured the world for the last 27 years! Fortunately, over a quarter of a century in ‘the biz’ hasn’t made him (me – obviously I’m writing this) in the slightest bit sensible, and he’s (I am) absolutely delighted to be coming to A Laugh In Stockport at Thread.
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.
“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. He’s one of the best there is. He’s 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
Previous tour support includes Nina Conti, Kerry Godliman, Rory Bremner and Marcus Brigstocke.
★★★★★ “Comedy guaranteed to lighten even the darkest of moods" — Edinburgh Evening News
★★★★★ “Bursting with originality, energy and enthusiasm, Rob Rouse is a delirious but hilarious man” — The List�
★★★★ “Just go and see it” — The Sunday Times
★★★★ “Eye-wateringly hilarious” — Hairline
“The tears of laughter came in floods..." — The Scotsman
“Left the audience in a giggling slobbering heap” — Edinburgh Festival Magazine
WARNING: THIS SHOW HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY ASSEMBLED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE – HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM IT – YOU MAY EVEN COME OUT STUPIDER THAN WHEN YOU CAME IN.
