Metro Newspaper, April '09 - "Broderick's feverish and intensely funny imagination was hugely entertaining." British Theatre Guide, April '09 – “Rob Broderick comes up with perfect off-the-cuff punch lines. A comic of rare inventiveness.” One of the most exciting comics on the circuit, Rob Broderick's explosive energy will illuminate the stage and raise the roof of any venue. Having improvised his way into the final of 'So You Think You’re Funny’ in 2005, Rob has been constantly pushing the envelope with both stand up and improv. He has the ability to take ordinary things that would remain unnoticed to anybody else and recycle them into hilarious material at will. For the past year, Rob has been delighting and amazing audiences with his improvised hip hop comedy show. It is a heady combination of improvised rap based on audiences suggestions over guitar licks and cajon rhythms. "8 Mile meets Flight Of The Concords" - Chortle May 2008. With guitarist James Hancox and cajon player Camilo Tirado, Rob recently opened for Atmosphere at La Scala, as well as playing the main stages of both Hackney Empire and Leicester Square Theatre.
