Adam Rowe – Comedian

Early Achievements and Humble Beginnings

Rowe’s journey in the world of comedy began with a bang as he was named Liverpool’s Hot Water Comedy Club’s Comedian of the Year in 2011. This recognition laid the foundation for his future success, setting the stage for his remarkable comedic career.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Success

In 2018, Rowe made waves at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with his show titled “Undeniable.” Critics praised the show for its “vital and fresh” perspectives and its “structured, consistently funny and well-crafted routine.” His comedic brilliance was further highlighted when he won the funniest joke award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that year. The now-iconic joke, “Working at the Jobcentre has to be a tense job – knowing that if you get fired, you still have to come in the next day,” left audiences in stitches and cemented Rowe’s reputation as a top-notch comedian.

Continued Success and Recognition

The following year, in 2019, Rowe showcased his talents with the show “Pinnacle” at the Edinburgh Festival. Critics described it as “another irrepressible and articulate hour by a rising talent,” underscoring his consistent ability to connect with audiences and deliver memorable performances.

Rowe’s comedic prowess extends beyond the stage, as he has made notable appearances on various platforms. He has been a guest on BBC Radio 5 Live’s show “Fighting Talk” and “The News Quiz.” Additionally, he contributed to the award-winning Liverpool-based podcast “The Anfield Wrap” and showcased his skills on the popular comedy show “Roast Battle.”

The Have A Word Podcast

Rowe’s influence in the comedy scene is further exemplified by his podcast “Have A Word,” co-hosted with fellow comedian Dan Nightingale. The podcast has garnered attention for its witty banter, engaging discussions, and insightful interviews. In a heartwarming initiative, Rowe and Nightingale released the song “Laura’s Gone” under the “Have A Word” umbrella in 2021, aiming to reach the Christmas number 1 spot and raise funds for Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice and the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust. The song’s success, reaching number 39 on the Official Charts Company midweek chart, showcased Rowe’s ability to entertain and make a positive impact.

The podcast’s achievements continued in 2022, as “Have A Word” clinched the Best Podcast title at the Chortle Awards. The following year, the podcast was nominated for the Best Comedy Podcast at the National Comedy Awards, solidifying its reputation as a must-listen for comedy enthusiasts.

As of February 18, 2023, “Have A Word” boasts an impressive following, ranking as the 19th most subscribed-to page on Patreon, a testament to Rowe’s ability to connect with his audience and deliver consistent entertainment.
