Rob Beckett: Comedians shouldn’t be cancelled as long as they poke fun in the right way

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Beckett insists comedians shouldn’t be the victims of cancel culture, as long as they have poked fun at people in the right way.
The 36-year-old stand up – who stars in ‘Rob Romesh Vs’ alongside Romesh Ranganathan – has defended the rights of comedians, but he admits comedy does have to “evolve with the world”.
He told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Ultimately, if it’s coming from a good place and the audience are laughing then it’s all right.
“I think you can pick on someone if it’s something that they’ve chosen to do, but you can’t pick on someone if they don’t have any choice in it.
“Comedy evolves with the world. There are certain things you’d say in the Sixties and Seventies you can’t say now and there’ll be stuff in the 2040s or 2050s you can say now but you won’t be able to say then.
“This question always comes up every five or ten years and then it goes away again.
“But between the performer and the audience, nobody really cares.”
Rob has been gearing up for the third series of his hit comedy show alongside Romesh, which will see the pair take on ventures they’re hopeless at such as modelling, singing and managing a restaurant.
Previous seasons have seen the audience witness their epic failures when they took on boxing, country music and drag.
He added: “I’d like to do Bollywood and we haven’t done Formula 1. It would be quite funny to do a battle rap with Romesh because Romesh loves hip-hop.
“We’ve both got dogs, so it would be funny to do dog training at Crufts. I’d also like to go to Japan and learn about martial arts.”
