Giraffe

Yes! Bobby Beckles is back on tour. Smashing the life out of the M25, M1, M5 and any other road that’s in my way. From Bromley to Brisbane, my new show Giraffe is going worldwide.

Expectations on me: put on three stone from takeaways and post-show drinking.

Expectations of you: leave the gig happier than when you arrived.

My wife thinks it’s going to be tough for me to be away from the family and don’t get me wrong, I do love my children/podcast content providers... but I also enjoy a lie-in and a hotel buffet breakfast. I think I’ll cope.

What else is there to do? Sit next to your partner on the sofa scrolling TikTok in silence again? You did that the last three nights. See you there!

Host of Sky’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and Rob and Romesh Vs. He’s also the unmistakable voice of Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating and the smash-hit podcast Parenting Hell.

Rob Beckett

Rob grew up in south east London in a large extended family of taxi drivers where it was a fight to be heard. As a middle child desperate for attention he needed to be funny so was in awe of his Grandad's jokes, but only until he saw a Tommy Cooper video and realised Grandad Cook was a massive plagiarist. 'A little short of a revelation (The Scotsman) 'Relentlessly smiley, perpetually grinning Londoner whose unshowy, unpretentious but thoroughly funny shtick has every chance of winning him a big audience' (The Guardian). 'He already has the confidence of a veteran' (The Times). 'Joyous, cheek aching and touching stand up' (Shortlist). Rob Beckett was placed in Ents24's top 10 hardest-working comedians 2016.
