Comedy sensation Rhod Gilbert is bringing his new show to Bristol next Christmas

Posted on: 05 Oct 2023

The Welsh stand-up comic, who’s embarking on a lengthy tour next year, is a regular on our television screens, loved by comedy fans all over the UK for his dark, candid humour.

 

Rhod Gilbert will perform his new show ‘Rhod Gilbert & The Giant Grapefruit’ at Bristol Beacon on Saturday 7 December 2024.

 

When life gives Rhod lemons… In his acclaimed last show ‘The Book of John’, Rhod was dealing with some pungent life citrus, and an idiot called John. Little did he know that things were about to turn even more sour… In July 2022, Gilbert announced that he had cancer, which he has since received treatment for – you don’t want to miss his return to touring!

Rhod’s not bitter though, he’s bouncing back and feels remarkably zesty. Hilariously dark, passionate and way too personal, this show is classic Gilbert, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs… with the help from an old adversary.

 

A prolific comedy talent for many years, Gilbert has hosted as many as five series of Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains for Comedy Central and nine of BBC One favourite Rod Gilbert’s Work Experience as well as the popular BBC Two Apprentice accompaniment You’re Fired and stints fronting Have I Got News For You? and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

 

That’s just a drop in the ocean, he is also a regular on hit shows Qi, Would I Lie To You?, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Taskmaster and more, winning numerous comedy and presenting awards in the process.

 

The ‘Rhod Gilbert & The Giant Grapefruit’ tour spans the whole of 2024 and beyond with tickets already selling out. High profile shows taking place in Manchester, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Bath, Sheffield, Coventry, Birmingham, Swansea, Brighton, Cardiff, Glasgow, Dublin and more.
