Rob Newman - Sarcastic Ray

Rob Newman read English at Cambridge University. He began his comedy career as an impressionist in the late 1980s before gaining fame appearing alongside David Baddiel, Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt in the BBC radio and TV programme “The Mary Whitehouse Experience”. With “The Mary Whitehouse Experience”, Newman and Baddiel had become unlikely pin-ups as, in the early 1990s, comedy was being feted as 'the new rock and roll', leading to their own series, Newman and Baddiel in Pieces in 1993.

@burnt62 the smarter the comedy, the smaller the lifespan

If only I could forget Norman Wisdom...  saw the Mary Whitehouse Experience live, and it was very funny, and very very hip at the time... at least they all still write/ work. Thanks guys...

Funny guys but who remebers you now in 2010 ... I bet a few more people remember Norman Wisdon and Benny Hill. Bit of jealousy boys ??

@lingsbord Agreed.  And he is also very hot :D

I've just watched this for the first time. Weirdly Norman Wisdom died today so that joke is now topical.

David Baddiel? imho newman was light years ahead of baddiel. don't get me wrong, baddiel was/is an excellent writer but newman was the proper tortured genius. sarcastic ray/history today/jarvis......seriously genius comedy
