“This (extremely) young stand-up is poised to become the next bright young sensation on the comedy circuit – expect to hear a lot more of him.”
The Guardian

ROGER MONKHOUSE is one of the regular writers on Channel 4’s hugely popular comedy panel show ‘8 Out of 10 Cats.’ He is responsible for scripting up-to-the-minute topical gags every week

A consummate stand-up who exerts a masterful control over any audience. A highly original and quirky performer, his trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit. Supremely confident, with audience banter down to an art form, he’s happy to improvise freely but has no shortage of first class material in his armoury. Roger is widely regarded as a master of observational comedy with routines that are universally and unfailingly hysterical.

“He is a gifted natural, with the years of experience to know how to handle a crowd, which goes to make him one of the consummate professionals of the stand-up circuit.”
Chortle

“Highly regarded by his peers on the circuit – he’s shaven-headed, topical, good, and nothing to do with Bob!”
Evening Standard

“His laconic delivery shields an engaging persona and an enquiring mind.”
