THE theory goes that we all have seven doppelgangers living across the globe but most of us will never meet our “twins.”

    However, one woman, who launched a project with her friends called Twin Strangers to see if she could find her closest lookalike within 28 days, was left amazed to discover three women who look exactly like her.

    Then, a bearded traveler met his doppelganger on a Ryanair flight after he discovered a stranger sat in his seat.

    And now, two more men who looked scarily alike have met by chance at a comedy gig.

    Comedian Rob Winston, originally from Florida, now living in London, bumped into his doppelganger — a man named Kobi — at a stand-up comedy event in London and his pal posted a snap of the pair.

    Taking to image sharing site Imgur, Tom Moffatt posted a snap of the pair with the caption: “My friend Rob (on the left), who is a stand-up comedian, met his doppelganger last night.

    “He was performing at a gig in London. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the likeness. Same amount of stubble! Same hairstyle! Same glasses! They are, as far as we know, unrelated!”

    Metro.co.uk reported that a woman in the audience accidentally went up to Kobi and, mistaking him for comedian Rob, complimented him on his comedy show.

    Speaking to the website, Rob said, “She was complimenting him on my material. When I saw him I was like damn! This is crazy. We look so similar.”

    To make matters even more eerie, Kobi, who has just relocated from Israel, is also a comedian and is prepping for his first English-language gig.

    As well as having a good catch up, the pair also ensured they got a selfie. “I would have chased him down the street if he had left without one!” said Rob, who added his twin stranger on Facebook and hopes to see him again at each other’s comedy gigs.

    The duo are by no means the first doppelgangers who have gone viral.

    Niamh Geaney, 26, from Ireland, spearheaded the Twin Strangers concept and met her first lookalike, Karen Branigan, and staged a photoshoot that went viral.

    She then discovered Luisa Guizzardi in Italy and then more recently she amazingly found Irene Adams, who also hails from Ireland.
