Roger Monkhouse

Original and distinctive comic, who employs a combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience.

Distinguished as a comic by his eloquence and keen eye for a fine phrase, Roger’s easy observational style is spiked by the signal flares of an accomplished gag writer. A supremely confident compere and seasoned corporate host, Roger is happy to improvise freely with a crowd and is at great ease bantering with an audience, but has no shortage of first class observational material in his armoury.

“His laconic delivery shields an engaging persona and an enquiring mind” – The Guardian
