Don't Take It Personal

Ross Henson is a local comedian who will be taking his show to Edinburgh next year to take part in the famous Fringe Festival that is renowned for discovering new comedy talent.
Ross, who has been a performer for 10 years says, “I’m a comedian who does it all. I dance, sing, rap, oh and obviously tell jokes!”
With all the energy of Lee Evans and mixed with a little blueness of Jimmy Carr, Ross promises an evening full of laughter. His comedy influences include the likes of Jim Carrey, Lee Evans, Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Simon Pegg, Kevin James, Lee Mack, Jack Whitehall, Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy), Tommy Copper and Norman Wisdom, to name but ‘quite’ a few!
Born and raised in Essex, Ross has branched out into stand up and is pretty much a one man band at the moment. He writes all his own material, produces all his music tracks and designs the staging and is constantly coming up with new ideas for his show, with just a little help from Andy Mac pro lighting and sound.
If you think Ross’s face looks familiar, you may also know him through the Kids Entertainment scene as Crazy Legs, The Children's Entertainer, but, Ross stresses, “This show is strictly an adult show. I did an adult show a year and a half ago called “Keep Calm And Rolo” because although I had such a great fan base through Children’s Entertainment performing as “Crazy Legs”, the kid’s parents kept asking me to do a show for the them. I had previously been thinking about it so I just gritted my teeth, put tickets on sale and people turned up and they loved every minute of it.”
He is currently preparing for his ‘one night only’ stand up show which he has called “Don’t Take it Personal” which is being held at Basildon’s Towngate Theatre this Thursday 22nd October at 8pm.
Ross’s comedy style is a mixture of story telling mixed with gags and musical comedy. “Oh, and I can be very physical,” he pauses realising what he’s said, “Noooo, I don’t mean it like that,” another pause, “although….”
So what does he do in his spare time? “I’m currently working on a comedy album, as well as releasing my own music on iTunes, and Google Play etc, to follow up to my most recent release, “You Got It” and “Keep Calm And Rolo" (live audio comedy show), and also writing and producing tracks for other artists.
Ross is also involved in a YouTube adult cartoon animation series called Degree currently which he is writing and producing alongside Peter Lay. “We do the majority of the voice overs for the show. Lastly, I’m writing a film for Hollywood and slowly putting together a sitcom as well. So not that much really.” he smiles.
Ross tells me, “The show at The Towngate will be filmed and it will be the one night only, so if you want to come down and make history of what eventually will be looked back at with the words, "Oh this was ROSS HENSON'S show near the beginning of his career,” like we all wished we had the opportunity to say after Lee Evans first theatre show, before his tours kicked in, well this is your chance.”
