    Robert Newman Comedy

    Newman began his career as an impressionist in the late 1980s. This was before he gained fame when he appeared alongside David Baddiel, Hugh Dennis, and Steve Punt in the BBC radio and TV program. The title, Mary Whitehouse, referred to the main campaigner for “moral decency” on television. Newman had experience from The Mary Whitehouse and Baddiel had become “unlikely pin-ups as, in the early 1990s. Comedy begun being fêted as ‘the new rock and roll’,” leading to their own series, Newman and Baddiel in Pieces.

    His partnership with Baddiel was reported as being fraught with tension. Their shows were characterized by two alternately delivering monologues, unlike most double acts. The monologues rarely appeared together except in sketches. During the “Live and in Pieces” tour, relations deteriorated further and the Wembley show was widely and accurately predicted to be their last appearance together.

    When there was a break-up, the two men took wildly differing career paths. Baddiel became part of the “new lad” phenomenon of the mid-1990s, fronting shows. Newman on the other side disappeared from public life, reappearing with solo work marked by a clear social conscience and anti-establishment views. He covered the anti-globalization Seattle protests of 1999 for the UK’s Channel 4 News. He has been politically active with Reclaim the Streets, the Liverpool Dockers, Indymedia, and People’s Global Action.

    Robert’s later work is seen by a very strong political element and parallels the work of contemporaries such as Mark Thomas. In 2001 he called for a boycott of the Perrier Comedy Award, with actress Emma Thompson. This was because Perrier is owned by Nestlé; an alternative competition called the Tap Water Awards was set up the following year. In 2003 he toured with From Caliban to the Taliban, this was released on CD and DVD.

    In 2005 the show Apocalypso Now or, from P45 to AK47, how to Grow the Economy with the Use of War debuted at the Bongo Club. This happened during the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Apocalypso toured nationally, sometimes as part of a double-bill where Newman was joined by Mark Thomas. The show was filmed at the Hoxton Hall in Hoxton, east London and shown on More4 under the title A History of Oil, later there was released a CD and DVD.

    A mixture of stand-up comedy and an introductory lecture on geopolitics and peak oil, in Apocalypso. Newman argues that twentieth-century Western foreign policy should be seen as a continuous struggle by the West to control Middle Eastern oil. This included including World War I. Newman draws from Richard Heinberg’s book The Party’s Over Oil, War, and the Fate of Industrial Societies as source material for portions of the show dealing with peak oil.

    Newman performed a new show, No Planet B or, The History of the World Backwards, at the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn in 2006. The BBC commissioned a six-part series, The History of the World Backwards based on No Planet B, for transmission on BBC Four. The script of the stage version show can be accessed on Newman’s official website.

    Newman’s BBC Radio 4 program Robert Newman’s Entirely Accurate Encyclopaedia of Evolution attempted to challenge some of the concepts of Richard Dawkins’s book. This was The Selfish Gene. It was able to win the Best Scripted Comedy with a Live Audience award at the 2017 BBC Audio Drama Awards.

    Sean Lock, a comedian, early television work included a supporting role alongside Rob Newman and David Baddiel in the 1993 series Newman and Baddiel in Pieces including touring with them as their support act. Lock credits Frank Skinner and Eddie Izzard as major influences on his comedy life.
