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. “Hilarious” – The Mirror “Naturally funny” – The Times “Hilariously observational comic… brings roars of laughter” – Arts Desk bohmpresents.com
