Rob performs stand-up comedy with music, using a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice to create impressive rock and pop soundscapes – and does jokes, of course.
Along with being one of the most in-demand headliners on the UK circuit, he’s toured nationally and performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe many times since starting out in comedy in the year 2000 and ran all over Britain for BBC 6 Music.

“Casual brilliance” – The Guardian

As seen on BBC3's Live at the Electric and many more.
Legendary star of YouTube, and the Edinburgh Festival
Troy Hawke is an erudite home-schooled 1930's throwback...the Errol Flynn of the high street. Educated, sophisticated, but utterly clueless. He tackles modern issues head on in his uniquely untimely manner.

The Coastal Comedy Show with Roger Monkhouse!
Stand-up Comedian, Actor, Presenter, Writer and Voiceover Artiste
Roger is a consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert 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, Roger is happy to improvise freely but has no shortage of first class material in his armoury. A master of observational comedy with a routine that is universally and unfailingly hysterical.
“Unfailingly entertaining and skilfully able to pull punch lines, seemingly, out of thin air” Chortle
Opening the show is the hilarious Luke Honnoraty who is highly regarded as one of the best acts to emerge from the South West in recent years. Luke with his award-winning stand-up burst onto the circuit in 2010 as the winner of the 'South West New Act of the Year' on his 3rd ever gig, and has gone from strength performing alongside the best names in comedy including Matt Richardson, Russell Kane, Katherine Ryan and Joel Dommett.
Also supporting Roger is Sam Russell, an exciting newer act already making his mark on the comedy circuit. Warm and likeable, his optimistic, upbeat brand of comedy focuses on the hilarity of life’s weirder moments and the challenges of it’s everyday mundanities, to which we can all relate.
