Roman Harris

After fifteen years battling blazes with the London Fire Brigade, this British-Caribbean comic swapped the hose for the mic—and the comedy world hasn't stopped buzzing. With a reputation for being devastatingly nice but wickedly clever, Roman Harris delivers observational, anecdotal sets that crackle with cheeky devilment and lived-in wisdom. Born and raised in London to Jamaican and Guyanese parents, he grew up around criminals but chose the firestation instead—then realised stand-up was even scarier. Since launching his comedy journey in 2019, he's racked up an enviable trophy cabinet: Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2025, third place in the Dutch Barn Spirit of Comedy, NATYS 2022 Runner Up, and shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Awards. He's even a recurring face on ITV's Supermarket Sweep, proving his timing works on telly as well as on stage. A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, Roman brings that hugely appealing vibe—affable, vibrant, and sharp as a knife—whether he's unpacking relationships, random life chaos, or simply being brilliant. Chortle says he's "got the goods." We say he's got the lot.
