Comedian Rob Delaney is back on home soil

Born and raised in Boston and currently taking the UK by storm, comedian Rob Delaney's meteoric rise correlates directly with his Twitter account. With over 1.14 million followers to date, Delaney is credited with being one of the first standup comedians to openly share his material via social media, making a name for himself by channelling his dark wit into 140-character sized chunks of hilarity.

Overcoming a long battle with alcoholism and depression, Delaney had been a struggling professional comic for 6 years before his Twitter takeover. Stand-up tours and numerous accolades quickly followed, including being voted 'The Funniest Person On Twitter'. Now the comic features on prime time UK television, starring in the smash hit show 'Catastrophe'.
