Robert Broderick

Robert is an Irish compere (Dublin born and lived there till Oct last year).

He comperes and performs regularly in London. Most recently he compered at the Pleasance's Monday Night Live gig with Rob Deering, Mark Watson and Sean Collins performing.

Rob has been been gigging constantly in London since moving here October '04. This year he was the only Irish act to reach the So You Think You're Funny Final in Edinburgh sponsored by C5 TV(this placed him amongst the top 9 out of near 500 entrants, including over 50 from Ireland).

He also compered a four-person show every night At the Edinburgh Festival 2004, receiving a four star review from 3 Weeks magazine (he was described as "a hilarious compere"). He also participated in the Amused Moose Hot Starlets, a 6 person nightly show featuring up and coming comics; The Metro reviewed the gig, saying "Robert Broderick generated the most laughs, taking the biggest risks".

His act is entirely improvised, and has been compared to Jason Byrne and Ross Noble. He uses some props on stage but mostly improvises and riffs, using plenty of crowd participation.
