Romesh Ranganathan – ‘The Cynic’s Mixtape’

CONNEXIN LIVE, Myton Street, Hull, HU1 2PS

3 - 23 Nov 2019

Romesh Ranganathan is back on tour with a brand new stand up show and will be visiting the Bonus Arena, Hull on 3rd and 23rd November 2019.

Romesh is back with a brand new show  ‘The Cynic’s Mixtape’ , his most brutally honest show yet.

Fresh from the  ‘Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan’, ‘A League Of Their Own’  and  ‘Judge Romesh’ , he’s putting showbiz aside to deliver a carefully curated selection of all the things he has found unacceptable since the last tour, including why trying to save the environment is a scam, why none of us are truly free, and his suspicion that his wife is using gluten intolerance to avoid sleeping with him.

Romesh’s cynicism has become his trademark, but since being nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2013 Edinburgh Comedy Awards this deadpan humour has become one of Britain’s most respected and popular comics.  Now, though, it’s time for the Asian Provocateur to return to his stand-up roots for a while – there’s things he needs to point out, discuss and have a good moan about. Care to join him?

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 BBC series Asian Provocateur (nominated for a BAFTA), The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan (BBC2), 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).

Romesh Ranganathan: Hustle

• Website: www.romeshranganathan.co.uk

Brutally honest comedy from the star of Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan , A League Of Their Own and Judge Romesh .

Jump to times or reviews

The incredibly funny tongue-in-cheek comedian from Crawley

Known for his trademark cynicism, Romesh Ranganathan is one of the UK’s most popular TV presenters and comics. He was born in West Sussex in 1978 as Jonathan Romesh Ranganathan and took an unusual route to stardom – via rapping and teaching.

After delivering his first ever stand-up set at the age of nine at a holiday camp talent competition, Ranganthan spent his teen years focused on becoming a hip hop artist with the moniker “Ranga”. Ultimately, he became a maths teacher and worked for many years at a school in Crawley, where he met his wife Leesa, who taught drama. They married in 2009 and around that time, Ranganathan found his way back to comedy by doing gigs in pubs as a hobby.

London Marathon 2024 guide: When is it, route, records and how to watch

T he London Marathon, a fixture of the spring sporting calendar returns this year after a record-breaking number of entrants in the 2023 edition.

The race will be the first London Marathon held since the death of Kelvin Kiptum , last year’s men’s winner and world record holder, in a car crash in Kenya.

When is the 2024 London Marathon? Time and date

The London Marathon 2024 takes place this Sunday, so April 21. 

The elite and wheelchair races set off at staggered times, with the elite wheelchair men’s and women’s races getting under way at 8.15am (BST). The elite women’s race starts at 9am, while the elite men hit the road at 9.40am.

The London Marathon route for 2024: where does it start and finish?

The London Marathon route follows its usual course, starting in Greenwich and Blackheath where entrants are split into three lines which converge at the three-mile mark. The route heads east into Woolwich, then back west towards Greenwich town centre, through Rotherhithe and Bermondsey. From there it crosses north over Tower Bridge, which signals the approximate halfway mark. Athletes then complete a circuit around Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs before the course runs west along the north bank of the Thames past the Tower of London towards Trafalgar Square and onto the Mall where it finishes in front of Buckingham Palace.

To download a map of the course, click here .

Some of London’s most famous landmarks feature on the course.

• Cutty Stark, mile six
• Tower Bridge, mile 12
• Tower of London, mile 22
• London Eye, mile 25
• Big Ben, mile 25
• Buckingham Palace, mile 26

What are the best viewing spots?

The busiest spots on the course are usually Greenwich, Tower Bridge and Westminster. There are ordinarily many fewer spectators from mile 9-12 (Rotherhithe and Bermondsey) and mile 14-21 (Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs). For the chance to see the runners pass by twice, head to The Highway in Wapping which is used first from West to East and then again from East to West, although this tends to be a popular viewing point. 

How many people run the London Marathon?

Last year 49,272 runners started the race with 43,965 finishing it (that’s 5,307 people who did not complete the course).

London Marathon prize money

This year for the first time equal prize money will be offered for the wheelchair and able-bodied races. The winner of each elite race will take home £43,500. 

London Marathon event director Hugh Brasher said: “We have made great strides in recent years towards our ambition to make the London Marathon the most diverse and equitable marathon in the world and this is another important step towards achieving that goal.”

What TV channel is the London Marathon on?

The London Marathon will be shown on BBC as well as BBC iPlayer and the Red Button. This year’s broadcast schedule has not yet been confirmed but in 2023 the main broadcast started on BBC One at 8.30am, then moved to BBC Two at 2.15pm and exclusively to the iPlayer and online at 3pm. Highlights were shown on BBC Two at 6pm. 

The production involves about 200 people, 40 cameras and half a dozen motorbikes. Multiple helicopters are used to help broadcast the elite races. Recently commentators have included Steve Cram, Paula Radcliffe and Tanni Grey-Thompson. 

Stars to look out for in this year’s London Marathon

Celebrities such as comedian Romesh Ranganathan, musician Tom Grennan and actor Phil Dunster will make their London Marathon debuts on Sunday. They will be joined by Birmingham City interim manager Gary Rowett, EastEnders stars Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick and Sky Sports’ Natalie Pinkham. 

Returning participants include: James Cracknell, Mark Wright, Adele Roberts, Louise Minchin and Chris Robshaw. 

What is the average London Marathon time?

Last year, competitors completed the London Marathon in an average time of 4hr 6min, a 12-minute improvement from the 2022 average of 4hr 18min.

Who won the London Marathon in 2023?

Kelvin Kiptum won the men’s race last year, breaking the course record with a time of 2hr 1min 25sec. Kiptum, 24, was killed in a car crash in February . The London Marathon will honour the Kenyan in a series of tributes this Sunday.

The women’s winner in 2023 was Sifan Hassan, who was running her debut marathon . Hassan lost touch with the leading group when she stopped to stretch but caught up again and prevailed in a sprint finish.

London Marathon records

Kelvin Kiptum broke the course record, with a 2hr 1min 25sec run last year. Paula Radcliffe holds the women’s course record, with a time of 2:15:25, set in 2003. 

When was the first London Marathon?

The first London Marathon took place on March 29, 1981. Inspired by the New York City Marathon’s launch in 1970, Olympic steeplechase medallists Chris Brasher and John Disley created the London edition with hopes to “provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world”.

Only 7,741 runners set out from Greenwich Park for the first London Marathon, a fraction of the 50,000-plus expected to cross the start line this Sunday. 

How to enter the London marathon

There are six ways to secure a place at the 2025 London Marathon: through the ballot, charity entry, good for age entry, British Athletics Club entry, deferred entry or through a tour operator, for those who live abroad. 

The TCS London Marathon MyWay also allows people to complete a 26.2-mile route of their choosing, wherever they are in the world. 

London Marathon ballot: when is it and how does it work?

London Marathon hopefuls can enter through the ballot, with successful applicants selected at random. The 2025 draw opens on Saturday, April 20 and closes on Friday, April 26. Winners will earn a place in next year’s race, which will be held on April 27, 2025. 

Unsuccessful applicants will automatically be entered into a second ballot, where they will be twice as likely to secure a spot.
