Interview: rarely asked questions - Romesh Ranganathan
When I wrote a story about Romesh Ranganathan winning the Leicester Comedy Festival Comedian of the Year Award in 2013 I spelt his surname wrong. It is no excuse of course, but I had never heard of him back then.

James Kettle, The Guardian, 18th July 2014Romesh Ranganathan Q&A
Romesh Ranganathan is a rising stand-up comedian who you might recognise from recent appearances on Mock The Week. The former teacher, last year nominated for Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, lets us in on his experiences of panel shows, his thoughts on industry awards, his latest show, and plans to tour in the autumn.
Lorenzo Pacitti, Giggle Beats, 17th July 2014Radio Times review
We're now a mighty 13 series into the topical panel show, and Dara O'Briain remains adept at shepherding his guests' reactions to the news - part effective quickfire puns, part Radio 4-friendly cleverness and, yes, part borderline offensive nonsense - into a cohesive whole.
For the comedians who stand in front of Mock the Week's lonely microphone, this isn't a bad summer in which to start a new series. As expectant silence falls around them, the World Cup, immigration rows and the build-up to the Commonwealth Games and Scottish referendum are all there to be clutched at. Tonight, regulars Andy Parsons, Hugh Dennis and our cerebral host are joined by Milton Jones, Ed Byrne and Romesh Ranganathan. Katherine Ryan is the solitary woman.
