Robert Webb

Robert Webb occupies a special place in my comedy pantheon. As one half of Mitchell and Webb, he perfected the art of playing the deluded dreamer — his Jeremy in Peep Show is one of the great sitcom creations, a man whose self-regard survives every humiliation. What I admire is the intelligence underneath the silliness; Webb the writer is as sharp as Webb the performer, and his prose reveals a thoughtfulness his characters deliberately lack. Coming from Boston in Lincolnshire rather than the usual London circuit, he brings an outsider's eye to English absurdity. Few comedians age this gracefully into being genuinely interesting writers.
