Rob Brydon is one of Britain's most successful comic exports. His talent was first discovered by Steve Coogan who became his sparring partner on The Trip. Other hits include Marion and Geoff, Gavin and Stacey and the long-running panel show, Would I Lie to You.
Brydon is in Australia for a tour of his live show, A Night of Songs and Laughter.
Before the cameras rolled, the famous impersonator laid claim to a convincing Aussie accent.

Why do we do this ? We've seen america butcher english shows over and over. What lunatic at channel 10 thinks we could do english comedy justice ? Incompetence at the helm. We grew up in a sunny , happy country. English humour reeks of an indellible irony. We don't have that.

What a wonderful comic genius Rob Brydon is. He is very generous with his words and views of others, always lifting us up with his observations, avoiding the cynical as he says. Not enough comedians take this stance, but thank you Mr. Brydon for doing just that because it always makes our day better in your comic company whenever you cross our path. Well done Sarah Ferguson on a terrific interview, which really gave us an insight into the man as well as the comedy genius. ❤👏

His Australian accent IS actually pretty good. It's not perfect, but it's a sight better than most of the shockers you hear.

@B_Bodziak Жыл бұрын

What is his normal accent? Is it Welsh? I think those who are Welsh (and often Scottish) and their careers are primarily in other English speaking countries like Australia and the US, they have to work hard to change their seemingly strong accents. Most seem to try to use a Midwestern American accent. When a Catherine Zeta Jones does interviews, she has no trace of a Welsh accent.

Her work has been mainly in Hollywood for a very long time, so that is what you'd expect. Rob Bryden's normal accent - as in this interview - is a standard South Welsh one. He does work hard at accents, because that's his thing. But there's no artifice in his ordinary speaking voice, and that is what you heard here.

The ABC conduct hundreds of interviews with entertainers and media personalities a year. Are you suggesting that for each interview they only employ someone who is of the top echelon of fandom of each interviewee? Would seem to be an astounding waste of resources and taxpayer funds to contract that many interviewers on their payroll for individual interviews, particularly when this interviewer did fine job covering the breadth of Rob's career, asking more than just surface level questions.

Which is precisely what you'd expect them to do as that is their job.. I have known about 'Gavin & Stacey' for quite a while, but have never seen an episode because, so far as I know, it has never been shown in Australia.

It seems the main topic of this segment is that he is able to adopt various accents when he performs. I THINK he is Welsh, but is able to speak English with a convincingly Australian, British, American,etc accent. I thought he grew up speaking English with a natural British accent, but apparently, he did not.

@B Bodziak No, the Welsh are Thee British. Wales was founded by Britons, and England was founded by Anglo Saxons. So Wales is Culturally British, and England are Geographically British. Very big Distinctions between the types of Britishness of the two Nations.

When I watch an interview like this I feel embarrassed. I am a kiwi living in UK 35 years….I actually lead the English Concert Orchestra for years….and I did a musical in west end and….loads of London orchestras and international work. When I see the interviewer take the humility of this guy with both hands and instead of disagreeing with him when he self deprecates, she goes along and agrees with him?! She doesn’t get how self deprecating the British are….why am I embarrassed. Is this what I was like when I first lived here? It is funny how kiwis and Aussies tell you how you’ll experience something…”This is going to be fantastic “…😂

In my experience NZers are far more likely to be self deprecating than the aussies.. For example The Flight of the Conchords took the national trait of self deprecation to a new low

I despise the term Welsh as the British Cymric people of Wales are not foreign to the island of Britain. They are to Britain what the native Americans are to America, and Māori are to New Zealand. The use of British by the English is even more egregious thanks to Britain being named as such based on these people. Long before the English even existed as a People. Why don’t people just explain these distinctions?

Lovely interview with a lovely man As a Welshman I think you'll find most Welsh people like being called Welsh lol. We come from Wales so we're Welsh. What else do you want to call us? English are from England, Scottish from Scotland and overall we're all British.

@markgammie4627 Жыл бұрын

You make some interesting points about the distinctions between the Welsh & English of which I was unaware, so thank you for that, however completely off-topic in relation to the interview it may be. As an Australian fan of British WILTY I thought the interview was conducted in a way that assisted him to score, much in the way he described himself doing, for the benefit & pleasure of the audience. He is the talent & the interviewer gave him Enough Rope to demonstrate.
