Roger Wilmut (born 1942) is a British writer and compiler of books on British comedy. Wilmut attended Warwick School, and began his 'day job' as studio technician for the BBC on leaving school in 1961. Wilmut claims to have drifted into a career as a writer "by accident".
Wilmut's books include ''The Goon Show Companion'', ''Tony Hancock: Artiste'', ''From Fringe to Flying Circus'' (a history of Oxbridge comedy in the sixties and seventies) and ''Didn't You Kill My Mother-in-law'' (a history of the 1980s alternative comedy movement in the UK).
