Clear your calendar and prep your cheeks for soreness — Prestwich Comedy returns on Sunday 7th September with another storming line-up of stand-up talent. And this time, our headliner is none other than the outrageously funny Rob Rouse.
You’ve seen him on 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Friday Night Project, and Upstart Crow. You’ve heard him on The Comedy Club and Radio 4. Now, see him where he’s best: live, loud, and right here in Prestwich.
Meet the Headliner: Rob Rouse

A master of storytelling, full-body comedy, and that special kind of chaos that only comes from a mind firing on all cylinders. Whether he’s ranting about parenthood, over-sharing about life below the waist, or running laps around the stage, Rob’s energy is contagious (the good kind — no tests required).
His live gigs are the stuff of legend. Physical, unpredictable, and frequently tear-inducing — this is stand-up at its most electrifying.
With Support From…
Three top-class comics from the UK circuit, handpicked for maximum laugh output. Expect a mix of styles, accents, and perspectives – all held together by one familiar face…
Your Host and Compère – Big Lou!

Holding it all together (just about), it’s the one and only Big Lou – your master of ceremonies, local legend, and the beating heart of Prestwich Comedy. With his razor-sharp crowd work, booming laugh, and no-nonsense Northern charm, Lou is more than just a host – he’s part of the furniture (the loud, loveable armchair your nan would never throw out).
Whether he’s warming up the room, roasting the front row, or wrangling comedians between pints, Lou guarantees every show kicks off with energy and ends on a high. Simply put: it wouldn’t be Prestwich Comedy without him.
