ACCLAIMED funny man Rob Beckett is heading to the south coast for an intimate gig at St Mary’s Stadium.

Dubbed The Mouth from the South, he will be bringing some special guests with him on Thursday September 30, as part of Southampton Football Club's Itchen For A Laugh series.

Expect Rob's trademark cheeky persona and winning smile in Southampton for a special, one-off gig.

The star of Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Celebs Go Dating will be road-testing brand new material to a small audience in the recently refurbished Mick Channon suite at St Mary’s.

Tickets, priced £27.50 with a £2 booking fee, are on sale now to season ticket holders, with the general sale getting under way on Thursday (July 29). Ticket and dinner packages are also available.

The stand-up comedian and presenter was a co-host on the ITV2 spin-off show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! from 2012 to 2014.

Since 2016, Beckett has been a team captain on the E4 panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats and the narrator of the reality series Celebs Go Dating. He presents BBC One entertainment series Wedding Day Winners and All Together Now. Rob and Romesh Vs is the popular Sky TV series starring Rob and his friend and fellow comic Romesh Ranganathan.
