Bobby Davro

Bobby made an early impression at school when he was caught mimicking his headmaster, a Harold Wilson sound-alike, and was given six of the best!

After leaving school, Bobby worked as a trainee manager in a large department store, where he was soon trying out more impressions as John Inman and Mrs Slocombe. This led to his own prime-time Saturday night television shows, Bobby Davroid and Robert (Bobby). He later left the shop to pursue a full-time career in showbusiness.

Bobby Davro made his TV debut in 1981, but his major breakthrough came with an appearance on Live at Her Majestys in 1983. This led to his own prime-time Saturday night television shows, Bobby Davro on The Box, Bobbys Sketch Pad and TV Weekly, which immediately topped the ratings for six consecutive years and made Bobby a household name throughout the country. In 1991, Bobby moved to the BBC and made three series, Public Enemy Number One, Rock with Laughter and Run the Risk.

In his rare moments away from the world of show business, Bobby likes nothing better than a game of golf, a game of snooker, a spot of fishing, or a glass of Chardonnay in front of the telly.
