David Mitchell & Robert Webb interview

Funnymen David Mitchell and Robert Webb are back with a new series and they are still making each other laugh...

Five Minutes With: David Mitchell and Robert Webb

Comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb talk to Matthew Stadlen about how they started working together, the highs and lows of being comedians and the joys of having a rant.

That Mitchell and Webb look

Self-professed young fogey David Mitchell and leotard-averse Robert Webb discuss their fashion influences.

Now here's a treat for an Easter Monday night; just as you look back fondly on the four-day bank holiday weekend and look forward not too fondly to returning to work tomorrow, Channel 4 have taken it upon themselves to cheer you up. They've skimmed the cream of comedy talent for a gala night dedicated to making us laugh, while raising funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital's Children's Charity. The night will fund two new anaesthetic rooms, allowing parents to stay with their children right up until they enter the operating theatre. Make sure you watch tomorrow's brilliant documentary, Great Ormond Street (9pm BBC2), to get some idea of the astonishing work done at the hospital. The cast of comics is a glittering one: David Mitchell, Bill Bailey, Catherine Tate, Jack Dee, James Corden, Jo Brand, Jonathan Ross and many, many others will perform stand-up routines in front of a capacity crowd at the massive O2 Arena in London. As a nice little bonus, Robert Webb, Ricky Gervais, Derren Brown and Johnny Depp, who can't be there in person, have filmed comic sketches especially for the night.

David Mitchell explains why he does so many panel shows

David Mitchell, 35, is best known for his comedy work with Robert Webb on Peep Show and their sketch show That Mitchell And Webb Look. His new topical panel show The Bubble starts tomorrow night on BBC2.

Vent, on the other hand, looks the terrifying in the eye and makes it funny. A sitcom about Ben, a man who fell into a sudden coma (yes, really), the first episode of this new series had Ben returning home, still pretty disabled, after months of being locked inside his failing body, unable to communicate. We hopped between real life - the ambulance, Ben's house, his life before his accident - and Ben's virtual reality, where his small daughter has grown up enough to hang out and give him advice, and there's a never-ending panel show going on, hosted by Robert Webb.

Strange? Yes. But witty and human too. Though the banter between Neil Pearson as Ben and Fiona Allen as his wife, Mary, occasionally erred on the Seinfeld side of sentimentality - no couple wisecrack all the time - this was convivial, clever drama. How refreshing to listen to a Radio 4 comedy that you feel you must keep up with, rather than one where you can predict every line.

Peep Show series 6 episode 6 review

If they're handing out awards for drunk acting anywhere, somebody please put Robert Webb forward. He single-handedly provided this episode, and, indeed, this or possibly any other Peep Show series, with five of the funniest minutes I have ever witnessed in British comedy.

It's often said that growing old gives you the freedom to complain about everything and anything. So it's no surprise that youngsters are now racing the oldies in their mission to moan.

Anyone with a Dad, Mum or vague middle aged relative will have heard of Grumpy Old Men / Grumpy Old Women. Little more than the filmed testimonies of various irritable celebrities, each series was hilarious viewing for both young and old in their cutting deconstruction of some of society's most baffling trends and sociological subgroups.

Never one to let a rant-inducing phenomenon pass us by, Comedy Central is back with a brand new one-hour special focusing on crotchety, grouchy young men.

Narrated by Robert Webb (who plays our generation's grump spokesman Jez in Peep Show), the programme features hilariously acerbic ranty rambles from a mixture of young comedians and celebs - Dan Snow, Alex Collier, Jack P Shepherd (Corrie's David Platt) and Matt Willis.

From dating to obesity and the modern day obsession with fame, this is a brilliantly witty, guilty pleasure that manages to rant about everything we've always wanted to but have felt socially obligated to put up with.

Mark's (David Mitchell) impending fatherhood fast approaches in this sitcom about two hapless flatmates whose horrid luck provides consistent amusement for the rest of us. He and Jeremy (Robert Webb) decide to throw a party, each seeing it as an opportunity for romance. Jeremy tries to make his casual lover Elena (Vera Filatova) jealous. Mark, meanwhile, hopes to finally hook in his long-term object of infatuation, Dobby (Isy Suttie).
