Romesh
Puffin has announced the acquisition of Lil’ Muffin Drops the Mic, a new, laugh-out-loud middle-grade adventure from comedian Romesh Ranganathan with illustrations from James Lancett. Editorial Director, Carmen McCullough bought world rights in a two-book deal from Flo Howard at Off the Kerb. The first book will publish in July 2023.
Romesh Ranganathan has talked about being bullied, his early gigs and thinking about quitting comedy. He was talking on episode two of the podcast This Is Not What I Asked For, hosted by celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Andrew (pictured with Romesh)
Ranganathan talked about constantly crying in the toilet at his first job he hated:
Sky Max has a new batch of original entertainment programmin from new commissions to returning favourites such as Rob and Romesh Vs, A League of Their Own and A League of Their Own: Road Trip.
Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis are bringing their hit podcast Wolf & Owl to London and Manchester.
For fan of the podcast, expect more of Tom and ‘party’ Rom shooting the breeze but in an unedited live show. They'll be solving problems, reminding you to do you, but most importantly doing it to the max. There will still be no format, but there will be lots of laughs.
Following a mammoth sellout tour 2019-22, Romesh Ranganathan’s standup special The Cynic will be available on Netflix from 29th November.
The special will be followed by a half-hour, semi-scripted comedy doc that will chart Romesh’s desire to create the ultimate Netflix finale in his home town of Crawley, and how it never quite happened. This will be the Fyre Festival of comedy finales, as his ambitions far outweigh what he is able to achieve. Both shows are made by Ranga Bee Productions.
After a sell-out tour in 2019-22, Romesh is back with a brand-new show examining the human condition. Are people inherently good? Is charity always a positive thing? Is hustling the key to success? Or is all this a load of rubbish we've made up to keep people working hard for no reason?
Update: extra date announced at The O2 on Saturday 25 May 2023. Tickets at link below.
DNA Journey returns to ITV this Autumn, as more celebrity duos set off on a quest to discover where they come from and unearth secrets from their past in a life changing and emotional voyage of discovery.
The second part of this new series will continue with four more globetrotting DNA stories featuring Alison Hammond and Kate Garraway, Joel Dommett and Tom Allen, Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb plus Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.
Sky’s BAFTA-winning sports comedy show A League of Their Own is making its season debut on 18 August with a brand new team mate as Micah Richards steps up in defence of the blue team. The former England and Manchester City right-back will take up a spot as a regular panellist.
Romesh Ranganathan returns to the host’s chair, alongside red team captain Jamie Redknapp and a rotating cast of guest captains for the blue team as a host of top names from the worlds of sport, comedy and television join the regular ALOTO family.
TV’s favourite back-stabbing big money game show is back once again as the quick-fire general knowledge quiz The Weakest Link returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for a brand new series.
Made by BBC Studios Entertainment, another all-star line-up of celebrity contestants will attempt to win up to £50,000 for charity by answering general knowledge questions before only two remain and play head to head to determine the winner.
TV's Romesh Ranganathan has already found time in a full schedule to make one sitcom, The Reluctant Landlord, for Sky, so when I heard about his new sitcom, Avoidance, I assumed it would be similarly broad and traditional and might also draw on his own life. Yet Avoidance is nothing of the sort. It's a gentle comedy, filmed without an audience, that almost borders on comedy drama rather than flat-out laughter-fest. And unless Ranganathan is trying to tell us something, isn't like his real life at all.
