Robert Webb (born 29 September 1972) is a British actor, comedian and writer, and one half of the double act "Mitchell & Webb", alongside David Mitchell. He went to Robinson College, Cambridge at the age of 20 where he studied English and became vice-president of the Footlights. He met David Mitchell at an audition for a Footlights production of Cinderella in 1993.

Mitchell and Webb's next project came in 2003, with starring roles in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, as flatmates Mark Corrigan and Jeremy respectively.

Webb has appeared in two series of the BBC Three sitcom The Smoking Room (2004) and the Radio 4 sketch show Concrete Cow. In 2005 he appeared in the Ben Elton-scripted BBC One sitcom Blessed as Ardal O'Hanlon's 'perfect' counterpart.

He and Olivia Colman also featured as a naturist couple in Confetti, a 2006 film about a competition for the most original wedding. Webb has since called the film "shit" on several occasions, although this appears to be because he was led to believe that his genitals would be pixellated out but only discovered at the screening of the film that they weren't.

Also in 2008, Webb made his West End stage debut in the UK premiere of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig, co-starring as Tom alongside Kris Marshall, Joanna Page and Ella Smith.

Webb won the 2009 series Let's Dance for the charity Comic Relief, parodying the audition sequence from the film Flashdance.[32] He also narrates the series Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum.[33] He will host a 2010 Channel 4 series looking at the week's online news, ''Robert's Web''.
