With over 30 years at the top of the UK circuit he is a bona fide comedy legend! His voice is pretty famous too, as not a week goes past without Bob and his distinctive cockney drawl getting an airing. He is one of the current stars of TalkSport Radio where he co presents every Friday with Jim White and TalkRadio where he has his own show \u2018Tragedy Plus Time\u2019 where he talks comedy to the biggest stars in the country. Perhaps his biggest achievement in radio was being crowned BBC 5Live\u2019s &#8216;Fighting Talk&#8217; champion of champions in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Bob is still fondly remembered for hosting ITV&#8217;s \u2018Win Lose or Draw\u2019 and starring in the late-night cult show \u2018In Bed With MeDinner\u2019 during the Nineties. However he has never gone away with regular television appearances on shows such as \u2018Have I Got News For You\u2019, \u2018Never Mind The Buzzcocks\u2019 and \u2018They Think It&#8217;s All Over\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He is also a BAFTA nominated writer and producer, responsible for two series of ITV&#8217;s award winning, critically acclaimed &#8216;Bob Martin&#8217;, giving Michael Barrymore his acting debut. On his debut as a film producer he helped Julie Walters to a Best Actress BAFTA in &#8216;My Beautiful Son&#8217;, also receiving his own coveted nomination from the Academy.<\/p>\n<p>As a live comedian Bob is simply sublime, when he hits the stage other comedians stand and watch as they know they are witnessing a master at work. With unique charm, wit and hilarious stories Bob always delivers huge laughs. You\u2019re in for a treat!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHis after dinner speech\u00a0went down a storm \u2013 the room was full of laughter and smiling faces.
