Introduction to speakers at the 2025 Somerset Captains Dinner

BOB WEBB

Bob is a comedian with many years of experience, working top class hotels and night spots both home and abroad. He is a firm favourite on the after-dinner circuit as a highly successful comedy speaker in his own right, and at various sporting functions as the comedian working alongside a celebrity speaker.

Bob’s unique, relaxed comedy style, along with some very funny original material is suitable for most occasions. Bob is always in great demand and is regularly seen and heard at corporate golf days and business lunches, as well as soccer and rugby presentations. Bob has performed at many Premiership football club functions, the launch of Sir Ian Botham’s biography and even at the request of Bob Monkhouse.

Bob is also very popular among top class cruise ship companies, namely SAGA and Fred Olsen. In 2004 Bob opened the Millennium Centre with Max Boyce and Katherine Jenkins. When engaging Bob, you can be sure of booking a true professional entertainer who has emerged as one of the leading comedians in the U.K.
