ROB DEERING performs stand-up comedy with music, using a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice to create impressive rock and pop soundscapes – and do 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 2000. Rob has appeared on any number of radio and TV shows, often using his extensive knowledge of film, popular music and… well, ‘general’; he has won Celebrity Mastermind and a comedians’ special of the Weakest Link on BBC One, for example.

He was featured as series regular ‘Sam’ in the Sky Living sitcom Trying Again, alongside Chris Addison, and has appeared in Coronation Street, Boomers and Russell Howard’s Christmas film A Gert Lush Christmas. Alun is also the co-host of The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio.
Our resident host DAN NIGHTINGALE is widely regarded as one of the finest performers working on the comedy circuit today.
