Rob beckett announces big new tour called giraffe.

Bobby Beckles, alias Rob Beckett, is going back on tour. 

Star of the chart-topping podcast Parenting Hell, Sky’s Rob And Romesh Vs and Celebs Go Dating, Rob will be taking his new show Giraffe from Bromley to Brisbane, ensuring his audiences laugh and forget about their problems for a couple of hours.

Rob said: ‘This is gonna be a big old tour. It’ll be tough being away from the family for a while. Don’t get me wrong I love my children/podcast content providers but I do also enjoy a lie in and a hotel buffet breakfast. So I’m sure I’ll cope. I expect to put on about 3 stone from takeaways and drinking after the shows’

Beckett burst onto the comedy circuit 15 years ago and hasn’t looked back since. He’s a Sunday Times Bestselling author and hosts his very own BBC Radio 2 Show. As well as Sky’s Rob And Romesh Vs, which he does with fellow comedian and best mate Romesh Ranganathan, the pair have also co-hosted The Royal Variety Performance - the first time two comedians had hosted the event together in over 30 years - and The BAFTA TV Awards 2023. Rob’s very own Sky show Rob Beckett’s Smart TV will air from February.

Rob can also be heard alongside Josh Widdicombe hosting their highly successful podcast Parenting Hell, interviewing fellow parents on their successes (or most likely failures) at parenting. With over 250 million downloads, guests have included: George Foreman, Katherine Ryan, Jonathan Ross, Jack Dee and many more. In 2023, the podcast hit the road on the Parenting Hell Live arena tour, playing to sold out arenas up and down the nation. The pair even co-wrote the Sunday Times Bestselling book Parenting Hell, a first-hand account of the challenges and chaos of their parenting journeys.

This wasn’t the first Sunday Times Bestselling book for Rob. 2021 saw him pen A Class Act, which is his autobiographical account of being working class in the middle-class world of television and comedy. At work he’s the Cockney geezer, but to his mates down the pub in south-east London, he’s the theatrical one – a veritable media luvvy.

This year also sees Rob host his brand new Sky panel show Rob Beckett’s Smart TV, starting on Sky on February 29. Smart TV is a hilarious celebration of the shows we love. Each week big name actors, comics, presenters and personalities join Rob, Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe to battle it out in a series of chaotic, trivia-infused rounds to discover who knows the most about TV.

Rob’s relatable and honest approach to comedy has also seen him host Children in Need and Comic Relief. Other TV shows include multiple appearances on BBC One’s Live At The Apollo, Would I Lie To You?, The Graham Norton Show, All Round Mrs Brown’s, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, QI, Sky One’s A League of Their Own, Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats and Cats Does Countdown, The Jonathan Ross Show, ITV Two’s Celebrity Juice, and Dave’s Taskmaster, and Hypothetical.

Rob Beckett's Giraffe tour starts on November 19, 2024 at Chatham's Central Theatre and currently finishes at the London Palladium on February 14, 2026. Full dates here.

Rob Beckett & Josh Widdicombe ’ s PARENTING HELL LIVE

Due to phenomenal demand, more Arena dates have been added to the Parenting Hell Live Tour: Nottingham Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff Motorpoint Arena and London’s OVO Arena Wembley.

After an incredible 100 million downloads the smash hit, consistently chart-topping Parenting Hell podcast will hit the road with live shows at arenas including: Manchester Arena and London The O2, in April 2023.  Rob and Josh’s podcast continues to be one one of the most popular in the UK, with millions downloading every week and their book Parenting Hell is a Sunday Times Best-seller.

Twice weekly, since April 2020, comedy pals and Sunday Times best-selling authors (individually and jointly), Josh Widdicombe and Rob Beckett have been bringing together fellow parents to share the highs and lows of being a parent in these times, providing a comedy lifeline for so many people all ages, including many that don’t even have kids.  Each week they’re joined by a well known parent to share their often hilarious, sometimes horrifying, stories about how they cope.

Previous guests include: Louis Theroux, Paloma Faith, Katherine Ryan, Peter Crouch, Fay Ripley, Michael McIntyre,  Judi Love, Jonathan Ross, Daisy May Cooper, Jack Dee, Robbie Williams and Alison Hammond. 

Rob said:  I am absolutely buzzing to go on tour with Josh. After two years of being locked up in my house with the kids all I can think of is that empty quiet hotel room after the show. As well as the shows themselves. The shows are going to be great but also waking up when I want and having breakfast in silence. But also the shows which are gonna be really great. We will be live and unedited. All the stuff we can’t say and do on the podcast will be happening on that stage and I cannot wait. 

Josh said: I have no idea how this has happened in my career, last time I checked me and Rob were cool young comics about town. Now we are two middle aged blokes complaining about our kids. Despite this I can promise this will be the best show that features two dads grumbling to ever play Britain’s arenas.

Josh Widdicombe and Rob Beckett tour Parenting Hell Live

Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe will be bringing their hit podcast to The AO Arena in Manchester on Friday, 14th April 2023, and The O2 in London on Friday, 21st April 2023. With nearly 50 million downloads, the chart topping podcast has seen them discuss the highs and lows of parenting (and life).

From the stresses of sleep deprivation to building a trampoline in the dark, they have kept us company through a pandemic but now they’re booking a babysitter and making a night of it.

‘An hilarious cry for help from two dads overwhelmed by their own young families. Fortunately, many of their guests – also the biggest names in podcasting – have been in the same boat… parents will never take for granted the patience of teachers ever again’ – NME

‘… has taken the form of upbeat conversations responding to the madness of this year while sharing its harder moments, all giving an essential shot of human contact’ – The Daily Telegraph

Rob Beckett: Giraffe

Booking at The London Palladium

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 3 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 & Romesh Vs. He’s also the unmistakable voice of Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating and the smash-hit podcast Parenting Hell.

Useful information

When will i get my tickets.

Friday 5 - Saturday 6 September 2025 8pm Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

14+ only 14 - 16 year olds must be accompanied by an adult. This show will contain strong language and adult references.

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 – and stopping off in Liverpool in between – 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.
