Rob Rouse – Are You Sitting Comfortably?

More boisterous energy and boyish charm than a zoo full of chimps. Star of the wonderful Big and Daft sketch trio who’ve been a darling of the Edinburgh Fringe for three successive years.

He’s married, has two kids, a dog and an eye-watering mortgage, (is in debt) in these times of austerity and uncertainty, but remains resolute that a career in unpredictable world of comedy was absolutely the right way to go. (It’s far too late to try something else now.) Rob takes this trademark comedic storytelling to a career high in this full length show, as he leads us on an irresistibly hilarious journey of enforced introspection, that has taught him to relinquish any attempts to control his life and to face down literally one of the most awkward situations you’re ever likely to hear about. Most definitely a middle-aged bloke Rob happily holds his hands up as being about as ‘un-sexy’ as it’s possible to be in terms of broad brush ‘Key Marketing Demographics’, but as a stand-up, he is in the form of his life.
