Episode ROB BECKETT: I’m a Chinese Takeaway & a Pint - If You Don’t Like It, Don’t Come Again
Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors.
I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment.
Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world.
In this conversation, Rob shares:
• Being told he was stupid by a teacher and how it stayed with him • How he found his voice as a comedian • The moment on Rob vs Romesh he realised he was burnt out • How having kids holds a mirror up to your own childhood • A surprise message from his wife, Lou
This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.
Rob Beckett is Great Company.
