He is also part of Impropera - a group who improvise operas based on suggestions from the audience[1] - they are currently developing a show for a younger audience. Ashdown was the creator of the 'Robbo' Robson character who blogged on the BBC Sport website for nine years, finishing in 2010, although the Robbo blog is still alive and well, along with the odd podcast.[2]

Ashdown has also appeared in Chambers, Swiss Toni, Outnumbered and, as writer/performer, Barking and Confessions.

Ashdown was in the original British version of Whose Line is it Anyway?, appearing in Series 7 episode 1 and 11 and episodes 5, 9 and 13 of Series 8.

He is also Wilf and Ruby's Dad. He is also the voice of Match of the Day's Thunderbird puppet Alan Hansen.

Ashdown played Henry Purcell in Clare Norburn’s Burying The Dead at the Brighton Early Music Festival.[4] He starred in Kneehigh Theatre's production of Ubu! A Singalong Satire, inspired by Ubu Roi.[5][6]
