Rodney Beckford is one of the worst comedians you’ve never heard of. Since his escape onto the Brighton comedy open mic circuit he’s appeared in four pub function rooms, two basements and a gazebo in a local park, where he had to be wrestled from the stage by a sugared-up bunch of hyperactive 5 year olds.
His past successes have included, collecting 24 tokens from the back of Frosties cereal boxes to get a pair of Tony the Tiger sunglasses. He won a pair of Hulk fists in a Cancer Research charity shop raffle, that say “Hulk Smash” when you bash them against anything. He’s the proud owner of most of the Brownies swimming badges, apart from the ones that involve swimming in your pyjamas to retrieve that rubber brick. He also raised £7.25 on a sponsored 5K run for charity that he didn’t run, but shouted encouragement to the participants and after a bit of legal wrangling, eventually got to keep the hi-vis vest they claimed they’d “…loaned him” but in an out of court settlement he ended up paying £7.25 for.
