ROB GRANT (writer; Great Britain)

Guest appearance: Friday 11th April and Saturday 12th April 2025

Rob Grant is an English comedy writer, television producer and co-creator of the Red Dwarf comedy franchise. Grant was born in Salford and studied Psychology at Liverpool University for two years.

In the mid-1980s, Grant collaborated with co-writer Doug Naylor on radio programmes such as Son Of Cliché, Wrinkles for Radio 4 and television programmes such as Spitting Image, The 10 Percenters, and various projects for Jasper Carrott.

The 'Grant Naylor' collaboration, as it had become known, created the cult science-fiction comedy series, Red Dwarf, which evolved from Dave Hollins: Space Cadet, a recurring sketch within Son Of Cliché. In the mid-1990s, the 'Grant Naylor' collaboration ended when Grant left Red Dwarf after the sixth series, citing creative differences.
