Comedy at the Picturedrome

Having only begun his comedy career in 2018, Andrew quickly gained plaudits and was crowned winner of The Cavendish Arms Summer Competition 2019. His relatable style and ability to speak on his life experience in an unapologetic manner has established him as one of the most exciting emerging comedians on the circuit today.

Alongside stand-up Andrew is also a presenter – he hosts both series of ‘Fantasy Football League’ accompanying Ellis James and Matt Lucas in presenting the revival for Sky as well as Premier League’s ‘Welcome to the Weekend.’ He has had his first short film STILL NIL NIL commissioned by the BBC with Big Talk. Andrew also appears regularly on Capital Xtra around their football coverage.

One of stand up comedy’s most lively, loveable and dynamic performers, Rob Rouse burst onto the comedy scene when he won Channel 4’s prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? competition at the Edinburgh Festival. Since then, his comic storytelling has been a regular feature at major comedy clubs and venues across the UK.

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