About The Unlikely Weightlifters Podcast

Award Winning Comedians Rob Rouse (Upstart Crow BBC) & Tom Wrigglesworth (Tom Wrigglesworth’s Hang Ups BBC) meet up once a week to lift weights together in an effort to stave off the ravages of life, but always descending into laughter in this funny, warm, surprising and original podcast. Recorded during the rest-periods of their vigorous exercise, which they partake in at their own Home-Made Weightlifting Stations!
Inevitably, the rest-periods always overrun. Although they always attempt the 3 major compound lifts, The Squat, The Bench and The Deadlift. The exercise gets done, but it’s so much easier to do when you’re chewing the fat with a friend.

Rob Rouse + Tom Wriggleworth

Rob Rouse and Tom Wrigglesworth are award winning comedians with countless TV and radio credits between them. They've been great friends for many years and during the lockdown embarked on joint strength training programme. At the time, they couldn't source any large weights, so both being keen amateur builders, they decide to cast their own out of concrete and built their own weight lifting rack out of 4x4 garden timber and thus, The Unlikely Weightlfiters were born!
