Comic’s Comic Best Act Award winner 2025 and star of BBC’s Upstart Crow, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Spoons, Sean Lock’s 15 Storey High and Dave’s One Night Stand, Rob Rouse is one of comedy’s most lively, loveable and dynamic performers. Rob won Channel 4’s Prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition at the Edinburgh Festival in way back in 1998. He’s one of our best comic storytellers, has performed all over the world and works long form narratives into hard-hitting, uncompromising hilarious tales filled with warmth and a sense of compassion for our collective human frailties.

“He’s a man with genuinely funny bones” – SUNDAY TIMES 

“A born clown” – TIME OUT

OPENER – SEETA WRIGHTSON (replacing Molly McGuinness)

Seeta Wrightson is a stand-up comedian and writer from Bradford, living in Leeds.

A BBC New Comedy Awards semi-finalist, Seeta travels the length and breadth of the country using her high energy comedy style and cleverly crafted jokes to tell stories of her mixed heritage, working class upbringing and offbeat observations. She supported Kiri Pritchard-McClean on her Peacock tour.

In 2025 Seeta was one of the winners of the BBC Sponsored Female Pilot Club for her pilot sitcom script. Following on from that win, she was invited to comedy writer rooms alongside Bafta winning writers. In 2025, she was also commissioned to co-write her debut play for Red Ladder Theatre, which toured in November and December 2025.

Seeta turned her hand to voice acting with five different roles in a BBC Radio play to celebrate Bradford’s 2025 City of Culture and has a small role in a Channel 4 sketch, which will be broadcast in 2026. A regular on panels talks for awareness days, corporate events and on BBC radio as an interviewee or guest, Seeta is also a co-host of Love In’t North Podcast, with Jack Carroll and Pete Selwood.

As an advocate of diverse comedy, Seeta facilitates comedy workshops to support more global majority women into comedy, with Bradford University.
