Rob Rouse

Rob Rouse relied on an unfailing Yorkshire wit to carry his show, and as a recent father finds genuine comic value in that timeless domain of kids, parenting, and bodily functions. He is naturally funny, his material is top notch, and he delivers punchlines with aplomb. The only criticism to be levelled is that he does wander towards self-indulgence from time to time, overdoing some of his themes. But this is a mere trifle that doesn’t detract from a man skilled in his trade and bound to only get better.
