Comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe talk about their chart-topping podcast Lockdown Parenting Hell in the Guardian today.

The interview by Stuart Heritage concentrates mainly on their podcast and what they have learnt about how to be a dad during the last year. But they also talk abut their stand-up careers.

Widdicombe suggests that doing the podcast has made him realise that it is better if he offers more about his personal life in his stand-up which he has never really done before.

Beckett, meanwhile reveals that appearing on TV shows such as Mock The Week has never held much fear for him as he was used to a fiercely competitive atmosphere when he was growing up at homein south London.

He told the Guardian: "Our house was brutal, to the point where it was too much. My brother had acne on his back, so his nickname was Dartboard Back. My brother Joe had smelly breath for about half an hour and got called Dogshit Breath for ever. I was called Jaffa Cake Nips because I had fat nipples through puberty. My mum used to call it The House of No Compassion. It shocked me when I went on Mock the Week and everyone said: 'They’re all really intimidating.' What? My house is much worse than this."

Rob Beckett is one of the guests on The Graham Norton Show on BBC One on Friday, March 12 at 10.45pm where he also talks about his podcast with Josh Widdicombe: "Josh (Widdicombe) and I have young kids and basically, we were just complaining about how bad it was.  People really like it – even those without kids.  If you’ve got kids it makes you feel better that you are not doing it wrong or badly, and if you haven’t got kids, you’re justified in your decision not to have them!”
