Robert Webb: How Not To Be A Boy

from Southbank Centre

Join award-winning comedian, author and lifelong male Robert Webb for a frank and funny conversation about not living by the rules of masculinity. "Would it surprise you to hear that I'm a virgin?' she said 'I won't say I'm surprised, I won't say I'm unsurprised but you'll catch them up.' So yeah, that was a good chat. Then we carried on watching Dallas." ROBERT WEBB Why are boys not supposed to cry or talk about their feelings? Do all men actually like sport and beer? Are you the Luke Skywalker of your life, or are you in fact Darth Vader? These are just some of the questions that have plagued Robert Webb, from a boyhood being insistently told not to cry, to his roles in That Mitchell & Webb Sound and the BAFTA award-winning That Mitchell & Webb Look, and as permanent man-boy Jeremy in the acclaimed Peep Show.
