Rob's TV and radio appearances read like a list of 'who's who' and include Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, Parkinson, Richard and Judy, The ONE Show, The F Word, This Morning, Top Gear and The Paul O'Grady Show, to name but a few.

Rob's versatile voice has seen him narrating many programs including Little Britain Down Under, Becoming Bond, Valley Of Song, Holmfirth Hollywood and 100 Greatest Comedy Moments. He has also performed character voices for the animations The Gruffalo, The Legends of Treasure Island, Body Beautiful, The Baskervilles and Robbie The Reindeer: The Legend Of The Lost Tribe.

Alongside Ruth Jones, Robin Gibb and Sir Tom Jones, Rob reached number one in the charts with the single Islands In The Stream, in aid of Comic Relief 2009. He also embarked on an eighty seven date tour of the UK with his stand up show, Rob Brydon Live; this included a three week run in London's West End.

Onstage Rob is a natural entertainer and a seasoned awards host. He might well hark back to his alter ego's Keith Barret's miserable childhood, or regale audiences with uncannily accurate impressions of two Welsh heroes, Anthony Hopkins and Tom Jones. The 'man trapped in a box' may also make an appearance.
