Rob & Romesh Vs: Everything you need to know about the comedy duo’s series
Comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan have been best friends for years – but after a decade on the comedy circuit, the pair are trying something new.
In this Sky Original series, Rob and Romesh Vs… sees the pair go behind the scenes to try out something new every week – whether it be sport (Rob’s favourite), music (Romesh’s favourite), or a growing trend or topical theme.

They also get help from some of the greatest stars on the planet – including Olympian Usain Bolt, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, and Hollywood icons Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt – in order to achieve their tasks.
