2016 sees Rob Rouse star as William Shakespeare’s manservant Bottom in Ben Elton’s keenly anticipated new sitcom Upstart Crow alongside David Mitchell. 
A natural performer, Rob has many voices in his head and, when unleashed, his shows become more like a hysterically funny play than one man telling very funny tales. TV includes 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Spoons, The Friday Night Project, Grown-Ups and Comedy Shuffle with Rob Rouse.
“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones.” Sunday Times “Go and see him now, I tell you, now!” The List
Although now London based Jollyboat are composed of Todmorden’s Tommy and Ed Croft, a blisteringly high energy musical comedy act designed to make
comedy clubs roar with laughter. As much a treat visually as they are musically Jollyboat bang out the tunes with tongues firmly in cheek and always with one (patched) eye firmly on the funny.
Despite having a bit of a ‘thing’ for anything even vaguely piratey the lads are more than happy to get carried away over Star Wars and Game Of Thrones and the sentimental schmaltz behind X Factor winners too. Oh, and if you’re in love with a Disney princess then you might want give them a miss unless 
you are happy to have your illusions cruelly and cynically shattered.
“Their uproarious pirate schtick is easily the equal of any other musical pastiche, ranging from Joy Division to the Spice Girls, by way of Katy Perry and Abba.” FringeGuru
Compere for the evening is Hayley Ellis and Manchester’s Jay Hampson completes the bill
