Rob Beckett

Rob Beckett is a British comedian, television presenter, and author whose warm, self-deprecating humour has made him one of the UK's most popular comedians. Born in Mottingham, south-east London, he is known for presenting shows including 8 Out of 10 Cats and Celebability, and co-hosts the hit podcast Parenting Hell with Josh Widdicombe. A Class Act: Life as a Working-Class Man in a Middle-Class World is his memoir about growing up working class in south London and navigating the middle-class world of comedy, television, and parenthood. The book is honest, very funny, and surprisingly moving about social mobility and the feeling of not quite belonging. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a hilarious, heartfelt memoir about class, belonging, and the comedy of being caught between two worlds.
