Comedian Romesh Ranganathan, 47, revealed on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs that he is “taking a step back” from his career to spend more time at home, though he clarified this is not a retirement announcement.
Ranganathan emphasised that he has no specific career strategy or “end game,” and is currently “just doing whatever feels good.”
He mentioned he intends to be more measured in his work going forward, potentially taking longer breaks between projects to experience life outside of comedy.
Reflecting on his previous career as a maths teacher, Ranganathan stated that it was more stressful than his current work in comedy, despite feeling fulfilled in the role.
Besides his stand-up career, Ranganathan is known for presenting The Weakest Link, starring in the sitcom Avoidance, and hosting shows on BBC Radio 2, including Romesh Ranganathan: For The Love Of Hip Hop.
