Rob Brydon: Why I Love Making People Laugh | GREAT MOMENTS
4/26/202616 min
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.

[upbeat music] Hello, everyone. I'm Jamie Laing, and this is Great Moments. [upbeat music] Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Great Moments. Uh, really excited for this little episode today 'cause it's with Rob Brydon. Now, I'm a huge, huge fan of Rob Brydon, always have been, um, from Gavin & Stacey to The Trip, which was with Steve Coogan. It's one of my favorite shows ever. He's so good, and when he came into the studio, I was kind of, like, overexcited because being a fan of him, it's kinda strange to interview him. And he talks a lot about how he's always been an entertainer, always wanted to entertain, which kind of I relate to a lot. Um, he does his very famous small man in a box, which I try and replicate. It doesn't go as well as he can do it. I'm not even gonna try and do it again because you gotta wait for the show for that to happen. Um, but it's an amazing episode. And if you, if you like this little Great Moments, you'll love the full episode. So all you gotta do is click on the show
