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. A highly original and quirky
performer, Roger's trademark stage-prowling style and curious,
inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on
the comedy circuit.
Distinguished as a comic by his
eloquence and keen ear for a fine phrase, his easy observational style
is spiked by the signal flares of an accomplished gag writer. A
supremely confident compere, Roger is at great ease bantering with an
audience. His subject matter is broad and diverse, ranging from blood
donation to the ageing process to contemporary mating ritual, but his
approach remains essentially observational with the spin of an
accomplished gag writer.
Roger Monkhouse headlines at all the
major comedy venues and has performed throughout the UK and overseas.
He has also featured on major national tours sponsored by Hooch and
J20. His television credits include Channel 5's 'The Comedy Store'.
Roger Monkhouse was raised in Kingston
upon Thames during the seventies and retains his Estuary drawl which
remains untainted by a South Yorkshire accent despite a decade of
living in Sheffield.
