He used to be part of a double-act with comedian David Mitchell, starring in Peep Show and That Mitchell And Webb Look, but Robert Webb says not working together as much has truly helped their friendship.
While they have gone their own ways career-wise, both appearing in panel shows, on the West End stage and writing memoirs, they are still close, says Webb today.
He’ll be working with Mitchell again on the second series of sitcom Back for Channel 4. “Since we stopped working quite so intensively, it’s done the friendship a power of good.
We actually like seeing each other now,” the comedian and writer says wryly. As chalk-and-cheese flatmates Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usborne, they starred together in the comedy hit Peep Show for 12 years.
