Roland Gent

» Profile

Roland Has done 1,000s of gigs from circuit comedy clubs, back rooms of pubs, rock festivals to big name venues and corporate events.

All the material is his own and is just at home either compereing or bantering with a crowd as well as cracking a string of one liners and observations. He isnt a blue comic but his act does contain references to sex drugs and rock n roll

» Testimonials

"Now the night had been rolling along nicely until Roland Gent came along! Roland sent the quality levels soaring. His amiable style insisted that the audience soon warmed to him and his excellent material and delivery ensured that the warmth son turned into hardcore belly laughs. Several times Roland had the audience gasping for breath as superbly weaved his way through his act. His uncanny John Peel impression was a winner especially when tied together with some great material. Roland left the stage with a great audience reception and rightly so, this man rocked. In my humble opinion, Roland left the headline act with his work cut out."

"A quality act, just the right amount of silliness, wit and winning material"
- Big Issue

"One to watch out for, ridiculous flights of fancy combined with some well honed gags"
- Manchester Evening News

"Finally, and I cant say enough about this act (so Im going to try to keep it short), was Roland Gent. Superb, really made the night, a real level to aspire to. Witty, confident, killer comebacks (pre-meditated and on the spot), able to build when its going right, quickly switching when it isnt. Again, a lot of Rolands choice of material is old reliables and well worn topics but to be able to pull it off in the way he does just means a subjective approach to it goes out of the window and you end up caught up in infectious laughter at the mans inventiveness and style."
- Chris Judge, Space Comedy

I told the people in the show that this was the funniest show I had seen in Edinburgh this year. I've seen some more since but this is still the funniest. It's a bit raw in places and if you are a fan of the Royal family (Diana in particular) you will prob be offended and go early! But this is Edinburgh and the Fringe and this is what its about for me. There are some bits of real genius here, boring shop keeper and kidnapped milkman. Amy Winehouse was brilliant and the man with the wall. The funniest show at the fringe this year.
