Rob Brydon

Enjoy last year's BBC comedy The Trip? This is what inspired it. Directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as caricatures of themselves (just like The Trip), it's a film about the making of a film of the knotty 18th-century novel Tristram Shandy. The bickering between Coogan and Brydon is easily the highlight.

Steve Coogan: I'm better impressionist than Rob Brydon

Steve Coogan has suggested that he's a better impressionist than his Trip co-star Rob Brydon.

The return of the standup show in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, something you may need to bear in mind as you resentfully endure the comedy stylings of Chris Moyles. He's joined, however, by Sarah Millican, Dara O'Briain, Jack Dee, Lee Evans and Jonathan Ross. There are musical contributions from Dead Cat Bounce and those young scamps N-Dubz, as well as video appearances from Lady Gaga, Russell Brand, Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Stewart. Rob Brydon also chips in.

Q&A: Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon

This world loves bickering buddies. From Laurel and Hardy to Jay and Silent Bob, there's plenty of fondness for comedies built around caustic and amusing back-and-forths between two people that, at the drop of a hat, either want to kill each other or cuddle. Michael Winterbottom, the man responsible for "Welcome to Sarajevo" and the harshly-and-unjustly-criticized "The Killer Inside Me," saw gold in the relationship between his star Steve Coogan ("24 Hour Party People") and friend/comedian Rob Brydon and amplified their personalities for "Tristam Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story." The result was a riot, and things went so well that the three reunited for "The Trip," a BBC2 series and movie.
