UK TOUR 2026

“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 Machynlleth Comedy Festival.

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.

Previous tour support includes Nina Conti, Kerry Godliman, Rory Bremner and Marcus Brigstocke.

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.

“One of my favourite comics. A very silly and funny man” Greg Davies

“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

★★★★★ “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
