Beckett was born on 2 January 1986 in Mottingham, London. His father was throughout his career a driver of vans, lorries, oil tankers, and cabs. His mother was a housewife throughout his childhood and later worked in a shop. He has four brothers^{[citation needed]}.

Beckett went to Edgebury Primary School and then Coopers School in Chislehurst. He attended Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent from 2004-07, where he studied tourism management.

Before his career in comedy began, Beckett undertook a series of minor jobs, including working in a flower market, and working in an office. While working at the latter, he went to a comedy club and decided to have a career in comedy after watching someone perform badly there. He said in 2019: " I entered a competition and I got through and I entered another one. I didn't seek the gig but I kept getting asked back. It was like playing five-a-side football where at first you pay a fiver to play, but then they say 'Well, you don't have to pay now' and then I was getting a fiver to perform. Before I knew it I was offered £40 and it didn't take too long to get to the sort of money I was getting working in an office.”

Beckett started performing stand-up in 2009. His performances led to a third place in So You Think You're Funny, and winning the Amused Moose Laugh-Off which earned him an invitation to perform at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia. In Adelaide, Beckett was nominated for the best newcomer award in 2011. He made his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012 with his solo show "Rob Beckett's Summer Holiday". In 2011, Beckett made a guest appearance as Mike in the Channel 4 series Fresh Meat.

From 2012 until 2014, Beckett co-hosted I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!, the ITV2 spin-off from the main show. He presented the show with Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash. He announced his departure from the show in October 2015, to concentrate on his tour. He was replaced by David Morgan.

Beckett also presented the Rock'N'Roll Football Sunday show on Absolute Radio from August 2014 until 2018.

Alongside fellow comedian Ian Smith and former footballer Jimmy Bullard, Beckett hosts UK television channel Dave's comedy-football podcast The Magic Sponge, an irreverent look at the lives of professional footballers. Beckett narrated the 2016 E4 series Celebs Go Dating. In February 2017, the second series of Celebs Go Dating began airing with him writing and narrating once again, this time with some overseas celebrities in tow. Since 2016, Beckett has been a team captain on the More4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats.
