DVD Description
Following two sell-out UK tours, multi-award winning Welsh wonder Rhod Gilbert presents his eagerly awaited debut stand-up DVD. One of the UK’s hottest comedians, Rhod takes observational humour to a whole new level with his fantastical ranting on life’s minor irritations.

Regular on Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week and star of the 2008 Royal Variety Performance, here, Rhod tells the hilarious and slightly ridiculous story of how a chance encounter with a mince pie at a motorway service station finally sent him over the edge.

Special Features:
• Back to Llanbobl
• Luggage
• Outtakes

Customer Reviews

On top of his game
Rhod Gilbert has matured in the last couple of years to become one of the most uniquely funny comedians on the stand-up circuit.

This DVD is the result and shows him at the very top of his game. He's totally at ease on the stage and with his audience. During the show, he switches from observational rants to flights of pure fantasy with a relaxed ease that comes from a very well crafted basic story, highlighted by his ramblings into the realms of the ridiculous.

The material is all fresh, and the residents of his home town of Llanbobl must be so proud that by the end of the show, he has quite literally put the town on the map.

If you liked Rhod Gilbert before - you'll love him even more after seeing this.

(and don't worry ... the luggage story IS on the extras)

Buy the DVD!!
I was in the audience of the DVD recording and it was awesome, he really is on top form at the moment, definately worth getting. He even filmed the extras there and then with some classics.
He is a naturally funny Llanbobblian :)

Awesome stand up routine!!!
I've actually not seen this on dvd, but was lucky enough to watch Rhod perform this act live in Pontypridd, south Wales. Rhod Gilbert is in my opinion one of the funniest comedians in Britain today. I highly reccomend buying this DVD as I have never laughed so much as when I was watching Rhod's stand up act. Absolute top class comedy!!!
