Performer Bio

Rob Raphael

Rob Raphael

When they were five, Rob’s best friend told him he was funny, and – shamefully - that notion has stuck all his life.

 

In 2018 Rob discovered improv and has been a keen student ever since; performing on Harold Night with Mood Ring in 2022 and The Academy in 2023. His so-called “best friend” is yet to come to a single show. What the hell Chris?

 

When he is off-stage, Rob enjoys all things nerdy and making a big deal about cute dogs on the street.
