‘Pacy, witty and affectionate’ Guardian
Rob Beckett never seems to fit in. At work, in the middle-class world of television and comedy, he’s the laddy, cockney geezer but to his mates down the pub in south-east London, he’s the theatrical one, a media luvvy. Even his wife and kids are posher than him.
In this hilarious exploration of class, Rob tries to understand the life he lived growing up as a working-class kid in comparison to the life he lives now.
Will he ever favour a craft beer over strong lager? When did it become normal for kids to eat sushi? Is he still working class? Why does he feel so embarrassed about success? And, will it ever be acceptable to serve pie mash on a wooden board?
Tackling the questions big and small, A Class Act is a funny, candid, often moving account of what it feels like to be an outsider and why actually that’s the best (slightly awkward) place to be.
Rob Beckett's book 'A Class Act' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 18-10-2021.

Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy circuit ten years ago and hasn’t looked back since. From working on a flower market to hosting the Royal Variety Performance, Children in Need and Comic Relief, he’s come a long way. He fronts his own Sky One show, Rob & Romesh Vs and is a team captain on Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats and Paul Sinha’s TV Showdown. His cheeky persona has also seen him make regular appearances on Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You?, A League of Their Own, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Taskmaster and Mock the Week. ln 2020, Rob and fellow comedian Josh Widdicombe launched Parenting Hell, the No.1 podcast in which they interview fellow parents on their parenting successes and (more often) failures. Rob continues to tour with his live comedy, most recently with his hugely popular and critically acclaimed show Wallop! A south-east Londoner born and bred, Rob now lives in Kent with his wife Lou and their two daughters.
