Over the past decade Rob Heeney has established a dual reputation as both an award-winning comedy writer and as one of the top comedians on the live circuit.

Described as ‘a definite must-see’ by UK comedy guide Chortle, Rob has played all of the UK's top clubs including; The Comedy Store, Highlight, Jongleurs, The Glee Clubs and Up the Creek. Further afield, he’s gigged in countries as far reaching as The United Arab Emirates, the USA, the Netherlands and South Africa.

Originating from the Isle of Man, where he was born one Christmas Eve, Rob’s unique and highly entertaining take on life is undoubtedly informed by his wealth of pre-comedy experiences – having been a qualified Chemical Physicist, trained Systems Analyst, Taxi Driver and even International Table Tennis player in his time!

A versatile performer, with a quick wit and excellent ad-libbing skills his style is a blend of bitterness, playfulness and cynicism, all wrapped up in a blanket of charm.
