About Smug
Best known as a stand up comedian, Smug offers laid back,sharply drawn takes on everyday life that feels more like a chat in the pub than a performance. He talks about himself, where he's from, what hes seen, and the odd conclusions hes come to along the way. It's comedy that ambles along,then catches you off guard with something delightfully silly or unexpectedly sharp.

There is a world of difference between seeing a comedian and watching a comedy act. A comedian tells funny stories armed with nothing more than a microphone and his or hers quick wits. A comedy act however expands the parameters of a stand up routine blurring the distinction between comedy and theatre,entertainment and performance. Smug Roberts is in a long line of performers from Manchester who like Steve Coogan,Johnny Vegas and Caroline Aherne,he is much an actor as he is comedian "

So it goes....
Smug didn't set out to be a performer.Like most things in his life,it just sort of happened. One minute he was in a pub telling a story and the next he was on the stage with a microphone,wondering how he'd got there!
He's been a regular face on the telly over the years. As well as the tv he's been heard on the radio in BBC radio 4's The In crowd,hosted his own show Smug's Set and a song, and does a turn as a presenter on BBC radio Manchester.
