Rory’s work spans character-driven comedy, film projects and live performances that often integrate technical wizardry, visual spectacle and attention to detail.

He has a soft spot for spoof and parody, and has been described as “the British Chris Lilley” in his versatility and ability to fully inhabit characters.

His live multimedia sketch/character show Television 1 has been hailed by reviewers as “the epitome of the Fringe” and “pitch-perfect”, and compared to the work of Peter Serafinowicz.

His comedy short The Astonishing Adventures of Alfred screened at the BAFTA qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival and had its US premiere at the LA Comedy Festival.

He previously hosted Something or Other; a live comedy variety night in London that featured guests including Fatiha El-Ghorri (Taskmaster), Esther Manito (Live at the Apollo) and Ania Magliano (SNL UK).

His online sketches have amassed over 7 million views, including his ‘Indie Boys’ series (co-created with Pete Rugman & Dave Durkan) with collaborations from US comedian Kyle Gordon, and musicians Kate Nash and The Hoosiers. He has also appeared in an online comedy short with musician Joy Crookes.

Rory is based in London and is currently developing new screen and stage work. He is represented by Avalon.
