About Me

Hello,
I'm Rob Riley. I'm a stand up comedian from Oldham who appears regularly in Greater Manchester and further afield.

I also run some rather good comedy nights. You can see them in my top friends below. If you re in the market for a comedy night at your pub, student union, festival or corporate event then we need to talk! Your best bet is to email me here.

You can also find me on FACEBOOK! This saves staring at a screen for ten minutes while MySpace tells you there s an error that they re working on which is usually a big, fat lie.
