When life gives Rhod lemons… In his last show ‘The Book of John’, Rhod was dealing with some pretty pungent life citrus, and an idiot called John. Little did he know that things were about to turn even more sour…
But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty. Hilariously dark, passionate and way too personal, this is classic Gilbert, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs…with a little help from an old adversary.
The multi-award-winning comedian has enjoyed many successful years as a star of television and radio. As well as his own shows; Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains and Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience, Rhod has appeared as the host for Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Have I Got News for You?, QI, Would I Lie to You?, Taskmaster, and more.
