Baboon

Britain's most joyfully absurd comedian, warm and wildly funny.

Bob Mortimer is beloved for his surreal, improvisational wit, elastic storytelling, and ability to reduce anyone around him to helpless laughter — most famously on 'Would I Lie to You?' where his outlandish-but-true anecdotes became legendary. He radiates warmth and genuine affection, particularly in his friendship with Reeves and his candid openness about his heart surgery, showing the baboon's mix of comedic performance and real emotional depth. His humor is spontaneous, physically expressive, and always crowd-pleasing — the quintessential baboon who delights in being the center of attention through sheer joyful absurdity.
