From the comedian who invented the phrase ‘No Planet B’, Rob Newman is back on the road with an all-new stand-up show.
Where The Wild Things Were is Rob’s new show about future cities, lost beavers, philistine Bingo callers, Dorothy Parker’s Multiverse Diaries and A Man Called Clive.
Who is Rob Newman?
Rob Newman is an impressionist and stand-up comedian. He was once part of the duo Newman and Baddiel with David Baddiel and part of The Mary Whitehouse Experience along with Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt. This was a real pop-culture moment that saw hilarious sketches with catchphrases such as ‘That’s you that is’ and ‘Milky Milky’ enter the lexicon.
Originally a Radio 1 comedy show, the show transferred to BBC2, and exploded on to the national consciousness.
Newman and Baddiel became the first comedians to play and sell out the – then – 12,000-seat Wembley Arena London, putting comedy firmly on the agenda.

He is winner of Best Scripted Comedy and Best Comedy with a live audience – BBC Audio Drama 2019.
