Rob Beckett has apologised to fans after pulling out of a string of live gigs in Scotland due to illness.
The comedian took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an update for ticket holders, admitting that he’s “not well enough” to perform.
The Celebs Go Dating narrator penned: “Hello everyone, I'm so sorry but I'm not well and can't do the shows in Scotland this week.”
Beckett confirmed that his Aberdeen and Edinburgh dates have been rescheduled to early 2026.
“Aberdeen has been rescheduled to Wednesday 14th Jan 2026 and Edinburgh has been rescheduled to Thursday 15th Jan 2026,” he continued.
"The venue will be in touch but tickets remain valid for both shows.”
He concluded the announcement: “I hate doing this, but I'm not well enough to give you the best show possible, but I look forward to seeing you all at the new shows.”
In light of the news, some fans took to social media to share their disappointment over the postponed gigs.
One penned on X: “Meant to be seeing Rob Beckett in Aberdeen tomorrow night but just got an email to say it’s been rescheduled to 14th of January next year” alongside a head in hands emoji.
While another commented: “So frustrating when that happens. Something to look forward to in the new year.”
The update comes shortly after the comedian revealed plans to step back from large-scale touring to spend more time with his family.
Beckett said he would continue doing smaller gigs, but would press pause on major tours until his children are older.
“I’ll still do stand up and local clubs and charity gigs but I’m going to take a break from touring until the kids are 16/17,” he told The Sun in March.
“Then I’ll do a big tour when they’re sixth form and when they go to Uni, me and Lou are going to spend Feb and March in Australia bumming around.
“When I’m 50 I want to do a psychology degree.”
Beckett, who began his stand-up career in 2009, rose through the comedy ranks after winning four competitions in his debut year.
He launched his first solo show Rob Beckett’s Summer Holiday at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe and has since become a fixture on television and the comedy circuit.
He married wife Louise in 2015 and the couple share two daughters.
