Roger Monkhouse

‘ His laconic delivery shields an engaging persona an an enquiring mind’ - The Guardian

Roger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience.

Roger 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 for the show which features Jimmy Carr & Dave Spikey .

Other television credits include appearances on ‘The Comedy Store’ and ‘The World Stands Up’, (both Paramount), ‘My God I’m My Dad’ (Bravo) and ‘Street Cred Sudoku’ (UKG2). Nevertheless, he remains a clear favourite of comedy insiders and is probably comedy’s best kept secret: In other words, in our view and the view of many others, he is one of the best (possibly THE best) comedian who’s not famous yet!

In 2016 he was voted Best Compere by fellow comics, he is a regular guest on GB News’ Headliners, and was recently featured on Unsafe Spaces (Radio 4).

Roger is widely regarded as a master of observational comedy with routines that are unfailingly hysterical and his forte is delivering intelligent, thought-provoking material that pulls no punches and is always relevant and up-to-date.

Articulate, quick-witted and spontaneous, if something is in the news, Roger has a routine about it.
