Since winning Channel 4's prestigious So You Think You're Funny? award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1998, Rouse has established himself as one of Britain's most respected live comedy performers, touring internationally for more than two decades.

His latest show, Funny Bones, combines storytelling, high-energy performances and a host of memorable characters. Earlier this year he was named Comics' Comic Best Act at the UK Comedy Awards.

Joining him will be internationally acclaimed comedian Daliso Chaponda, who rose to national prominence after reaching the final of Britain's Got Talent in 2017.

Chaponda has since appeared on a host of popular television and radio programmes, including Have I Got News For You, QI, The Royal Variety Performance, The News Quiz and The Now Show.

The comedian is also the creator and host of BBC Radio 4's Citizen of Nowhere, which has been nominated for a Rose d'Or award and has aired across four successful series.

Completing the line-up is rising comedy star Travis Booth-Millard, who has quickly established himself as one of the UK's most promising stand-up talents.

Heather McCarthy, business and events manager at The Landmark, said: “We're absolutely thrilled to welcome some of the UK's top comedians to The Landmark and to Burnley.

“These are performers who audiences regularly see on television on some of the funniest programmes in the country, and this is a fantastic opportunity to see them live right here in East Lancashire.

“It's going to be a brilliant night of comedy and entertainment, so we'd encourage people to get their tickets now before it's too late.”

The line-up remains subject to change due to television commitments.
