Rob Beckett has announced that he will embark on a huge new stand-up tour across the UK, running from 2024 to early 2026.
The comedian, 38, will begin his new show, Giraffe, in Chatham, Kent, in November and perform over 59 dates, ending in a recorded two-night special at the West End’s London Palladium.

This sees the pair frequently interviewing celebrities regarding the difficulties of parenting.
Speaking about his upcoming tour, 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 three stone from takeaways and drinking after the shows.’
The news coincides with the launch of Beckett’s new Sky Max panel show, Smart TV, next Thursday, which will see Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe star as team captains.
Content details for Giraffe – which is Cockney rhyming slang for ‘laugh’ – are yet to be released.
However, Rob has promised that he Beckett will make audiences ‘laugh and forget about their problems for a couple of hours’.
Many tickets go on sale at 11am on Wednesday morning, with a general release coming later in the week at 11am on Friday.
