Rhod Gilbert & The Cat That Looked Like Nicholas Lyndhurst - SOLD OUT

BCEX presents
Rhod Gilbert & The Cat That Looked Like Nicholas Lyndhurst - SOLD OUT

“Without doubt one of the best comedians anywhere in the world right now” -Time Out

 

Following last year’s sell-out tour and sensational performances on The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, and Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow, the Welsh Wonder is back on the road with a brand new show.  Last year, he punched a shop-assistant over the duvet tog-rating system and went berserk over a mince pie.  Stung by accusations that he over-reacts, this year Rhod sets out on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey to discover the truth.  Is he, as he believes, a visionary in a sea of closed minds, or has he, as everyone else believes, got anger-management problems? 

 

Total sell-out, Edinburgh 2005-2008.  If. Comedy Nominee 2008. One of the hottest names in stand-up today.  Catch him while you can.
