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.
A very funny evening, Rhod Gilbert is a fantastic storyteller even when talking about his cancer experience
Fantastic night in a great venue. Laughed and cried througout the night and had the pleasure of meeting Rhod on the way out. Honest, raw, heartbreaking and hysterical all in one show. I just want to meet John 😂🥰
As ever, Rhod was incredible. I will never tire of watching him do stand up!
Excellent evening, it was very refreshing to hear someone talk so candidly about their illness but to also make it very entertaining and funny. The images that Rhod built up before our eyes were genuinely funny but also poignant. Having just lost my Mum a few days ago I wasn't feeling terribly upbeat when I arrived but I left the theatre having laughed out loud and with a smile on my face. Thank-you and Well done Rhod.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Highly recommend to anyone especially those going through cancer. Absolutely brilliant
A very funny performance taking the serious subject of cancer and making it funny. Would definitely recommend. The only downside to the evening was the attitude of people leaving the car park. No one seemed to have any respect for anyone else thus causing chaos. If people would only consider others trying to leave the venue.
Its my third time seeing rhod live and he was absolutely amazing, it was good seeing him battling cancer in his own way and finding making light of the situation.
Amazing show as always only Rhod can make taking of cancer fun but so honest & truthful. Enjoyed warm up act sorry forgotten his name (Leroy?) but he funny too.
Thrilled to see Rhod Gilbert back in Swansea! Amazing as ever, loved his take on his cancer journey and the hilarious observations on the grimmest time imaginable. Also great to see his opening act, the second best black welsh comedian on the circuit :)
Excellent as always. We laughed and laughed and also very informative if you are lucky enough not to have been touched by cancer in any way. Rhod certainly did put humour into his horrendous experience with cancer. Brilliant show and the ending very emotional but also very uplifting and shows there can be a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Hope to see Rhod again on his next tour. If you haven't already booked to go you should it is a great night out.
