Greg Davies interview

Family's important to Greg Davies and he's quick to point out that while he seemingly slates them so publicly in his act, he hopes this conveys what a close unit they really are. Watch him on Dave's One Night Stand this Thursday, where he returns to Shropshire, and you'll see him introducing his former stomping ground by way of some fierce bickering with his sister.

Greg Davies interview

Probably best known as the fearsome Mr Gilbert in The Inbetweeners, Greg Davies is also one-third of comedy troupe We Are Klang and an acclaimed stand-up in his own right. We spoke to Greg, and he revealed the truth about Shrewsbury and his meat flower...

Alex Horne: The boffins in search of the perfect gag

Can you learn to be funny? Can you study humour and unlock its scientific formula? Alex Horne swaps the comedy circuit for the lecture hall in search of the science of laughter. Plus, Greg Davies, Tim Minchin and Shazia Mirza tell us what really tickles them.

Interview: Greg Davies, comedian

He is a giant of comedy in more ways than one, Greg Davies. Standing at a towering 6ft 8in, he's become a hero to a generation of teenagers thanks to his comic turn as Mr Gilbert, the psychotic head of sixth form, in E4's BAFTA-winning show The Inbetweeners.

Telegraph agony uncle Graham Norton's usual guest mix of American A-lister, British TV star and comedian is repeated tonight, because why fix what isn't broken? Ashton Kutcher, an actor (and star of new movie No Strings Attached) as well as the young husband of Demi Moore, joins experimental chef Heston Blumenthal on the sofa. The line-up is completed by unnervingly tall stand-up Greg Davies (he of E4's sitcom The Inbetweeners). Norton's combination of chumminess and sarcasm is idiosyncratic, but he gets the best from his guests.

Greg Davies 'dreamt of being paid to be silly'

Comic talent Greg Davies tells BBC Breakfast he always secretly thought it would be great to get paid to be silly.

BBC News, 31st January 2011

New comedy improvisation show with a very talented cast. Hugh Dennis hosts and the performers include The Thick Of It's Justin Edwards, Perrier-winner Laura Solon, The Penny Dreadfuls' Humphrey Ker and Greg Davies from The Inbetweeners. It's a pacey mix of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (Dan Patterson created that and this) and Mock the Week but in a good way. It's new comedy, so try to give it at least two episodes before you whine endlessly on Twitter about how rubbish you think it is.
