Rowan Campbell is a Scottish based Australian who arrived at stand up comedy relatively late in life, doing his first gig ever aged 29 in Edinburgh back in early 2005

Already a regular comedy club punter, and suffering from a profound lack of direction in life, Rowan had an epiphany... "the real world sucks...I wanna be a Stand Up" .

Luckily his natural talents and life experiences prior to Stand Up have equipped him well for a career in comic observation, and he has continued to go from strength to strength. His material is wide ranging, well crafted and superbly delivered and he has enviable vocal control and mastery of accents.

In his first month of comedy he won The Big Tickle Comedy Festival Competition in Derry N.Ireland, and later the same year was a semi-finalist in The Edinburgh festival's So You Think You're Funny comp. He now realises competitions suck unless you win them.

Since then he has been a regular at comedy clubs across the UK, has appeared in the 2006 Glasgow Comedy Festival sell-out show "4 men and a little lady", and you may also have seen him make appearances at Edinburgh Fringe clubs in '05 and '06 such as Spank!, The Phatcave, The FreeBeer Show, Comedy 4 kids (!), Peter Buckley-Hill and some comedians (guest compere 3 times) or rocking comedy nights all over Scotland, London and Northern Ireland and The Guinness Laughter Lounge, Barcelona..

" Demonstrative and full of energy on stage...Campbell stood up and delivered in style...the belly laughs kept coming so fast that tears were starting to flow...you could travel a long way to see this guy and you wouldn't be disappointed." The Times*  

"Great energy, good material, fantastic delivery, shit haircut." Chortle.co.uk

 " Shit! I ain't goin' on now...the muthaf**ka's are yellin' "we want Rowan Campbell back!"  Reginald. D. Hunter, Glasgow 2006
