Rhod Gilbert & The Award Winning Mince Pie
IF. COMEDY NOMINEE 2008
TIME OUT ‘COMIC OF THE YEAR’ WINNER 2008
STAR OF LIVE AT THE APOLLO & THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE
Since his Perrier Newcomer nominated debut show - 'Rhod Gilbert’s 1984', Rhod has been haunted by critics describing him as a serial fantasist of ex-prime ministerial proportions.
This year, Rhod decided to abandon his fictional tales of Llanbobl, and try living in the real world for once. 'Rhod Gilbert & The Award-Winning Mince Pie' begins in a service station, at about 2.40am.
Armed with a travel pillow, a flask and a very powerful torch, Rhod aggressively demands to know more about the 'Award-Winning Mince Pie' on display on the counter. Suddenly aware of what he is doing, he is forced to acknowledge that he may be having a very mild nervous breakdown.
How did it come to this? He doesn’t even like Mince Pies. The pressures of living in a tedious, pointless and absurd world surrounded by idiots have finally taken their toll. Perhaps he should never have left his fantasy world of Llanbobl in the first place. This is the slightly ridiculous story of how one Mince Pie broke the camel’s back.
'Face-achingly funny…the audience were genuinely weeping with laughter' ***** Daily Record
'Gilbert has finally surpassed all expectations…exhilarating stand-up, sublime storytelling' ***** Scotsman
'A virtuoso performance. Every moment is exhilarating, passionate and sparklingly funny' ***** Chortle
'Gilbert’s performance is powerhouse and this show is his best yet' ***** Metro
'Comedy manna from heaven' ***** Independent
