Rob Heeney

'Deluded genius' - Johnny Vegas

Over the last decade, Rob Heeney has established a reputation as one of the top comics working the UK circuit today. His style is a blend of bitterness, playfulness and cynicism wrapped up in a blanket of charm.

Originating from Douglas, Isle of Man, where he was born one Christmas Eve, you’d think this qualified Chemical Physicist, trained Systems Analyst, former Taxi Driver and International Table Tennis player would be able to draw on these amazing experiences. He cannot.

‘The saviour of the show…Our tip for the top’ – Danny Wallace, BBC Comedy

Described as ‘A definite must-see’ by UK Comedy Guide, Chortle, Rob’s refreshing brand of story-telling comedy blends playfulness and cynicism in equal measure. Charming and engaging, Rob’s hilarious anecdotes, and incredibly perceptive observations on modern life, address topics audiences the world over can relate to.

His own background gives him a wealth of experiences to draw-upon too.

Originating from the Isle of Man, where he was born one Christmas Eve, Rob was a qualified Chemical Physicist, trained Systems Analyst, taxi driver and even International Table Tennis Player, before making the move into comedy!

Rob's versatility, quick wit and excellent ad-libbing skills have made him a much sought after comic and compere. Over the years he has enjoyed long-term residencies in Guildford, Bracknell, Reading, Canterbury, Ealing, Hampstead, and Liverpool's Rawhide.

In 2009 he supported Jim Jeffries on his National Arena Tour and in 2011 was selected as a lead comedian on the Foster’s Funny 22-date tour of the UK.
