Romesh Ranganathan is a stand-up comedian, actor, writer and presenter. After ditching his burgeoning Maths teacher career in his early 30s for a life on the comedy road, his shows Rom Com and Rom Wasn’t Built in a Day earned nominations for Edinburgh Best Newcomer 2013 and Best Show Award 2014, respectively. Having established himself as a major force on the stand-up scene, TV work has followed in the form of BAFTA-winning The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan (BBC), BAFTA-nominated Asian Provocateur (BBC), The Ranganation (BBC), Judge Romesh (Dave), Just Another Immigrant (Showtime, US), A League of Their Own (Sky One), Rob & Romesh Meet (Sky One), and The Reluctant Landlord (Sky One).
In other news, Romesh released his second autobiography - As Good As It Gets: Life Lessons from a Reluctant Adult – earlier this year. A hilarious dissection of adulthood and the pressures we all face to grow up, the book follows on from his bestseller Straight Outta Crawley. He also writes for the Guardian occasionally.
