Rob & Romesh Vs
Rob and Romesh Vs… is a British light entertainment comedy television series made for Sky Television in which comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan attempt to immerse themselves into unfamiliar aspects of the worlds of sport and entertainment. The show was first broadcast on Sky One in January 2019 following a one-off special in April 2017 titled Anthony Joshua vs Rob & Romesh in which the pair met the heavyweight boxer ahead of his world title fight with Wladimir Klitschko.[citation needed] Guests have included the England national football team, Andy Murray, and Usain Bolt. The Guardian described the show as “comedic guinea pigs Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan continue to try their hands at learning new skills, coached by professionals”. Starting with the fourth series, the show moved to Sky Max until its closure.
The show is produced by CPL Productions. Rob Beckett told the Royal Television Society that the original idea was to pair him and a non-boxing fan to meet Anthony Joshua and Romesh was chosen as his friend who knew nothing about boxing with the two having met and befriended on the UK comedy circuit. Ranganathan explained that the original idea was just to cover sports “but it soon became clear that if we immerse ourselves in any kind of world you’re always going to get something from it.” Beckett explained that they “commit to it. We don’t just fake it for telly. We’re not going through the motions.”
The show was nominated in the Entertainment Performance category at the 2021 Royal Television Society Programme Awards. The show was also nominated for best comedy entertainment series at the 2022 National Comedy Awards. The show won the Best Comedy Entertainment category at the 2024 Royal Television Society Programme Awards, with Rob and Romesh nominated for Best Comedy Performance category.
