  • Gavin Webster (born 13 November 1969 in Blaydon-on-Tyne) is a British stand-up comedian. He made his debut in February 1993 at the Barley Mow pub in Gateshead, on the same bill as Ross Noble although he had been a straight man in a double act called Scarboro and Thick a few months prior to this. His television work includes Never Mind The Buzzcocks, , , , , , The Comedy Store, and (Channel 9 Australia, Comedy Central USA).

His 2011 Edinburgh Fringe show, All Young People are Cunts was positively reviewed by the British Comedy Guide. He previously played Edinburgh in 2003, 2008 and 2009.
