Acts On The Night

Rob Rouse

One of comedy’s most lively, loveable and dynamic performers, Rob won Channel 4’s prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition at the Edinburgh Festival back in 1998. Since then he has become one of our best comic storytellers, performing all over the world and he works long form narratives into hard-hitting, uncompromising hilarious tales filled with warmth and a sense of compassion for our collective human frailties.

The former Geography teacher has to date taken eight successful shows to Edinburgh Festival to 4 and 5 star reviews and performed three sold out National Theatre tours.

His TV appearances include Upstart Crow (BBC Two), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Spoons (Channel 4), The Friday Night Project (Channel 4), Celebrity Juice (ITV2), Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave), John Bishop’s Only Joking (Sky) and Live at the Comedy Store (Comedy Central).

“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones.” The Sunday Times

“Rob Rouse is a born clown, a latter-day Stan Laurel.” Time Out

“Bursting with originality, energy and enthusiasm. Eye wateringly hilarious.” The List

Chris Washington

With a cheeky Northern charm and hilarious tales Wigan born Chris Washington is a highly regarded comedian on the live ciruit as well as being a support favourite for the likes of John Bishop, Jason Manford, Kevin Bridges, Milton Jones and Jonathan Pie.

Chris made his TV debut on BBC1 with a 30 minute stand up special ‘Live from the BBC’. Likened to a “Peter Kay for the smart phone generation”, Chris has also appeared on 'Mock the Week', 'House of Games', 'Stand Up for Live Comedy' (BBC) and 'The Stand Up Sketch Show' (ITV2) as well as hosting a podcast and Radio shows for Radio X.

An accomplished writer Chris has written and starred in a series of viral sketches for BBC three Quickies, which amassed over 15 million views.
