Flip Webster is a British actor and comedian with work across television, radio and theatre. The British Comedy Guide traces comedy performances from the late 1980s through Ludwig in 2024, including ensemble work on Paul Merton – The Series and appearances in Gigglebiz, Witless and The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin.
In a 2018 interview about playing the Duchess in Don Carlos, Webster discussed building a character from the text and researching the play’s historical setting. Her professional work extends beyond screen appearances: Equity’s 2017 annual report names her chair of its Women’s Committee.

Name card
The header uses a typographic name card where a licensed portrait is not available. Photographs require a suitable licence and a visible credit.
Skills
Performance range, not a casting claim
Her documented work spans comic and dramatic acting in several media. A role or accent performed on screen does not establish a current casting skill. Accents, languages, singing, movement and other specialist details await an authorised current CV.
Training
Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
A performer-attributed IMDb mini-biography says Webster trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. That page does not establish a specific course or graduation year, so neither is supplied here. A school or current agency record would strengthen this training detail.
Recognition and industry work
Comedy nomination and Equity service
The British Comedy Guide lists a 2015 London SketchFest Best New Act nomination for the duo Flip & Maggie; it is not represented as a solo acting award. Equity’s 2017 annual report names Webster chair of the union’s Women’s Committee, documenting work on representation within the profession as well as performance.
