Rob Carr
Bio
Founder of The Improv Chippy, Rob flew over to Melbourne in his early thirties and studied intensively with some of the best comedic talent in Australia. Comedy, in particular improv, changed his life for the better and he has now returned to Grimsby with the hope of gifting the same for others. He has performed in Defrost Festival, the biggest improv festival in the Southern Hemisphere and in Robin Hood International Improv Festival one of the UK's top improv festivals. He hopes to establish North East Lincolnshire's first Harold teams in 2026 and develop a style of improv unique to the area. You can read more about his origin story here.
