Bobby Carroll

Bobby Carroll, a sharp suited grumpy young man trades in sharp observational and confessional routines given a knowingly self deprecating spin. Playing with light and dark subject matters he can switch from detached deadpan to high energy impressions and voice work bringing to life such varied inaminate objects such as pub quiz machines, tropical fish and tattoo artist's needles. A consistent act on most bills he really shines in tougher rooms where his ability to chat and improvise comes to life. He has succesfully played corporates to investment bankers, strip bars, stag parties sticking to his own wry, miserable style and obviously the finest clubs in the land. Well established headliners have compared his persona to Frank Skinner, Adam Bloom and Rodney Dangerfield.

"Livens the room with his quick witted banter... moments of brilliance and originality" - Three Weeks
"A rare find... fresh and funny observations about sex and relationships... Deserves bigger audiences" - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman
"Smooth Pattered" - Newbury Today
"Great set, really packed with funny." - Phil Kay

Currently mainly doing paid compering and paid opening/middles around the country including Mirth Control, The Bearcat, CKP, Warren Speed, Theatre Royale Stratford, Boom Boom, Terry the Stand Up, Oi Oi, Mike Fox, Stand and Deliver, Comedy Knights, Speakeasy, Kev Orkian and Laughing Horse.

Full solo hour shows at Manchester Comedy Festival, Reading Comedy Festival, Lynmouth and Lynton Comedy Festival and  Set-Up... Punchline in Kensington.

Bobby is also resident MC at Comedy Boutique Barnes and The Decapitated Puppy both of which attract regular return audiences  proving he can play posh middle aged crowds and young metallers without having to rely on his 20 minute set.

Here's an old clip of him at The Stand - Edinburgh
