Rob Gilroy
Character comedy, sketch writing and improv.
Hello, I’m Rob. I’m a character comedian, comedy writer and improvisational comedy performer.
I’ve written for numerous Radio 4 shows, been a part of the BBC Writersroom Comedy Room 2014, performed comedy on the UK stand-up circuit, taken one-man shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Leicester Comedy Festival and post regular character-driven sketches and web series to my social channels.
In November 2022, I made it to the final of the Chorts! online sketch competition run by The Comedy Crowd.
I’ve also appeared on several podcasts and appeared in acting roles on TV.
And these are some of the lovely things people have said about me:
“A writer with a talent for structuring comedy, creating interesting characters, sharp lines & broad family appeal…”
BBC Writersroom
“One of the best new comedy writing talents around.”
Chris Addison, comedian, writer & director
“Love Michael La Vache. He’s a brilliant creation… makes me laugh out loud with the accuracy of the characters…”
Chris Lang, writer of Unforgotten
“A really funny writer.”
Jo Enright, comedian and actor
“Brilliant”
Josie Long, comedian and writer
