One of the most intellectual comics in the business,  Roger Monkhouse oozes class with every syllable he utters, be it a wry observation or a witty oneliner, all delivered with a laconic, urbane Surrey posh accent, that has not been crushed by far too many years living in the north of the country. A comedy club owner himself when he is not performing, Roger knows exactly what an audience wants and delivers it with a deadly combination of charm and as e equally cerebral critic put it: ”he packs in more observations on the human condition in a twenty minute set than a whole lecture on Jean-Paul Satre”.
