Romesh Ranganathan fronting new Sky travelogue show

Romesh Ranganathan has landed a new Sky travelogue show.

The 46-year-old comedian has made a few programmes for the broadcaster - including the award-winning comedy challenge series 'Rob and Romesh Vs...' - and he is now returning with 'Can’t Knock the Hustle', which sees the funnyman travel around the world to look at the work-life balance of those in various countries and cultures.

Speaking about the four-part Sky Max and NOW offering, he said in a statement: "Stand ups often deliver a show completely unchecked by logic.

"We decided to film a series exploring what I’d said on stage and whether I was right.

"This show confirms the suspicion that I often don’t know what I’m talking about.”

Produced by Romesh's production company Ranga Bee and coming in 2025, the show will see him jetting out to the likes of India, the U.S., South Korea and Canada to "fact-check" some of the things he comes out with in his stand-up shows.

Benjamin Green, Director and MD at Ranga Bee Productions, added: “It takes a special kind of person to diligently fact-check their tour show – but an even more special kind to wait until after they’ve performed it for thousands of people. Romesh is that person.”

The announcement comes as 'The Weakest Link' star has been fronting 'Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening' - a gameshow that sees celebrities team up with their daughters, sons, mums or dads to win money for their chosen charity - with his mum Shanthi on ITV1.

Talking about the programme, he previously said: “I am really grateful ITV has given me the chance to host this brand new series. I am less grateful, they also gave the chance to my mother.”

Romesh has revealed his jokes have got him in trouble with other children's parents at school after he offended them with some of his dry quips.

He told ITV's 'This Morning': "I have got into trouble in the past. When I go to drop the kids off at soft play, parents come and talk to me and I have said on stage, 'I don't care about other people's children, I'm just there for mine'.

"And then I went to a kid's birthday party and these parents came up and said, 'We'd tell you how we were doing Romesh, but you clearly don't care.'”
