My Take
To me Rob Brydon is one of British comedy's most underrated treasures. Born in Baglan, Wales and trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, he is an actor, comedian, impressionist, presenter, singer and writer rolled into one impossibly versatile package. His 2013 MBE for services to comedy and broadcasting tells you the establishment itself recognizes the craft behind the laughs. I am drawn to performers who win a room through wit and intelligence rather than volume, and his warm Welsh charm does exactly that. He is the rare comic who only seems to deepen with age, a genuinely accomplished entertainer.
