Roger Swift

The true master of prop comedy, shameless & relentless. He forces his audiences into submission with a complete onslaught of visual jokes and puns that often put Tim Vine to shame.  Finally the contemporary successor to Tommy Cooper

Quotes
"Roger Swift is ‘THE’ prop comic. It has no right to work, but it really does. His gag per minute rate is only beaten by masters of the one liner, and he has the brilliant ability to completely blindside an audience with an unexpected punch line. My favourite thing on the comedy circuit at the moment.” (Paul Savage, Chortle Forums, 2010)

"He’s just brilliant, totally relentless as well. Couple of bits that come out of nowhere that I pi**ed myself at.” (Sam Gore, Manchester Comedy Forums, 2010)

"I commend to the comedy nation the irrepressible, Roger Swift. He is a cross between Tim Vine, Timmy Mallet and Charlie Chuck. If that does not provoke your interest I do not know what will. Roger cranks out terrible puns and sight gags at high velocity. He can divide the room as people try to work out if he play acting or going through some kind of trauma. The jury is out so you decide. He is now something of a legend on the local comedy scene and last night he totally blew the audience away, the people literally laughed like drains. He's the comedy equivalent of semtex " (Dave Dinsdale, Chortle Forums, 2010)

"To me, Roger Swift is the definition of relentless, the sheer pace of delivery adds to its value. I love his material because some of the gags in there are extremely clever. I've not seen anyone else doing what he does. It's a pleasure seeing him have a good gig and I bet loads of us acts come away from watching him, trying to write a gag either for him or in his style" (Dave Powner, West Midlands Comedy Forums, 2010)

"This is a guy who proves what solid hard work and self-belief can do. More than a Tim Vine style pun-meister, Roger skilfully delivers his incredible array of props, timed to perfection with his punch lines. I for one will never be able to view Noddy Holder in the same way again." (Melanie Smart, West Midlands Comedy Forums, 2010)
