Comedian - Will Rowland - Comedy: The Charming Star of Stage and Sketch

Will Rowland is a comedian, actor, and director whose laid-back charm and clever wit have made him a standout talent on the UK comedy scene. Whether performing his thoughtful solo stand-up or causing chaos as one half of the critically acclaimed double act Crizards, Will has a unique ability to twist the conventions of comedy and win over audiences completely. He is a versatile and highly sought-after performer who has been a finalist in major competitions and has appeared on our screens on channels like BBC Three and Dave.   

Will is perhaps best known as one half of the comedy duo Crizards, alongside his partner Eddy Hare. Together, they have created a string of hugely successful and critically lauded shows, including the parody western 'Cowboys' and the wartime spoof 'This Means War'. Their work has been showered with four and five-star reviews from publications like The Guardian and The Telegraph, who praise their "real freshness" and "entirely ridiculous" energy. The duo has appeared on Dave's 'Question Team', been shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award, and were runners-up in the Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off competition, cementing their place as one of the UK's most beloved double acts.   

As a solo performer, the wonderfully charming comedian Will Rowland delivers a thoughtful and engaging brand of comedy that weaves together stories with a unique perspective. His solo work ponders life's big issues, from the decline of civilisation to the dwindling acceptance of invitations to his birthday barbecues. He has a talent for taking a simple premise and exploring it with a gentle, intelligent humour. He also co-hosts the popular podcast 'A Bisexual and a Boyfriend' with fellow comedian Ania Magliano, further showcasing his warm and witty conversational style. His work is often meta and self-aware, with one of his Edinburgh shows titled 'Clip Farm', a wry commentary on the modern comedian's need to constantly generate social media content.   

Will's achievements span across his solo and group work. As a stand-up, he has been a finalist in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year competition, a significant marker of quality on the circuit. As a director, he has worked with a number of other comedians, helping to shape some of the best-reviewed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. His acting credits include sketches for BBC Three and the online channel Pulped. The sheer volume of five-star reviews for his work with Crizards from outlets like Broadway World and The Reviews Hub speaks to a consistent level of creative excellence that is truly impressive.   

You can follow Will's solo work and his adventures with Crizards on Instagram, where he shares updates on his latest shows and projects. With a foot firmly planted in the worlds of stand-up, sketch, and acting, Will Rowland is one of the most versatile and enjoyable comedians working today.
