Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer 2013 nominee and regular host of BBC Radio 4’s Newsjack and C4’s Stand Up For The Week, Romesh Ranganathan will be performing his new show Rom Wasn’t Built In A Day on his debut UK tour. The tour follows a run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival. 

The former schoolteacher is one the most exciting new comedians breaking through in the UK.  With a uniquely fresh stage presence, Romesh uses his trademark acerbic wit in his attempt to understand what the hell life is all about. 

Ranganathan is an inadequate human being, and wants nothing more than to address that.  Through reading self-help books, watching documentaries and delivering witty repartee at parties, he is doing his best to improve himself. But Rom Wasn’t Built In A Day. Like all of us, he needs a little bit of help along the way...

In the last eighteen months he has won the Leicester Mercury New Act Award 2013, been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer 2013, apeared on BBC1’s Live At The Apollo and become a regular presenter on C4's Stand Up For The Week. He also appears regularly on Mock The Week (BBC2). Romesh has just recorded his first News Quiz (Radio 4) and, being a familiar face on The Dog Ate My Homework (CBBC), he has two upcoming episodes in June.  He also recently starred in Jo Brand’s sitcom pilot about social workers Damned, for Sky Arts 1.

Apart from the Brighton date this tour is a double-header with Suzi Ruffell.
