Who Rob Deering is
Rob Deering is an English comedian, musician and writer who builds his stand-up around live guitar, looping and song. Born in 1972 and raised in London and Oxfordshire, he hosted and wrote three series of Out to Lunch on BBC Radio 2, hosted 99 Things to Do Before You Die on Channel 5, and has guested on shows from BBC Radio 4's 4 at the Fringe to Jason Manford's Comedy Rocks.
