About this episode

Rob Brydon discusses the importance of making people laugh and shares insights into his career and love for performing.

Is there any better feeling than a proper belly laugh? It really is the best kind of medicine and something we all rely on to get through the ups and downs of life.  Rob Brydon has built a hugely successful career on making people laugh. From his iconic role as Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey to his hilarious travels with Steve Coogan in The Trip, he’s truly mastered the art of entertaining.  In this Great Moment, Rob shares why entertaining has always meant more to him than just getting a laugh. He also talks about creating characters like his “small man in a box” and what first sparked his love of performing.  Sometimes making someone laugh isn’t just about the joke, it’s about giving them a moment they didn’t know they needed.
