It has been revealed that Robert Webb will re-join the cast of Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense next year after completing his run in the West End production of Neville's Island.

Following its acclaimed West End run, which was extended several times, Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense is currently touring the UK. Jason Thorpe and Christopher Ryan are also joining the cast as Jeeves and Seppings . Webb plays Bertie Wooster.
