Born on September 29, 1972, Robert Patrick Webb was raised in Woodhall Spa. Weaned on sitcoms such as Blackadder and The Young Ones, he went on to cultivate an interest for poetry, drama and parodies at school.
Joining Robinson College, Cambridge to study English, the 20-year-old Webb encountered David Mitchell at Cambridge Footlights—of which he became vice-president. Before that, they recorded their first performance together—Innocent Millions Dead or Dying: A Wry Look at the Post-Apocalyptic Age, in 1995. Following solid performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the duo were soon hired to write sketches for comedians Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong and for the British comedy Big Train (1998-2002).
They grabbed their first breakthrough, writing and starring in BBC’s Bruiser (2000), following it up with their own sketch, The Mitchell and Webb Situation (2001), on the now redundant Play UK; later released through DVD by Eureka! TV (2005). Their next programme Peep Show (2003), which slowly rose to fame becoming Channel 4’s longest sitcom, went on to win the Golden Rose (2004), Best Situation Comedy BAFTA (2008) and two British Comedy Awards for Best TV Comedy (2006 and 2007). Webb shared the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Performance with Mitchell (2007).
