Comedian Rob Beckett, host of Parenting Hell podcast with Josh Widdicombe, will bring Giraffe tour to Lincoln’s Engine Shed

Tickets to comedian Rob Beckett’s new tour show Giraffe which is coming to Lincoln go on sale today (Friday, February 23).

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

Rob will be at the Engine Shed in Lincoln on Thursday, November 28 – one of the first dates in a tour that goes on until 2026. A pre-sale has already taken place but tickets go on general sale at 11am at Ticketmaster and directly from the venues.

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.”

Rob 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 own Sky show Rob Beckett’s Smart TV will air from February.
