With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit and clownish physicality Rob has quickly established himself as a firm favourite on the comedy circuit around Britain.

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 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. He also recently ran all over Britain for BBC 6 Music. Yes, Rob runs and presents the podcast Running Commentary with fellow running comic Paul Tonkinson, and fundraises for his favoured charity Parkinson’s UK having run seven marathons.
