Rhod Gilbert: Rhod Gilbert And The Cat That Looked Like Nicholas Lyndhurst

The last few years have been very busy for Welsh comedy sensation Rhod Gilbert during which he has performed twice on Live At The Apollo, headlined Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, hosted Never Mind The Buzzcocks and appeared on The Royal Variety Performance and Would I Lie To You? as well as making regular appearances on panel shows 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Mock The Week. Rhod's debut live DVD, Rhod Gilbert & The Award-Winning Mince Pie, was released in 2009 and claimed the title for the year's fastest selling debut stand-up DVD, selling more than 50,000 DVDs in the first two weeks alone and entering the stand-up chart at number three. His second live DVD, Rhod Gilbert & The Cat That Looked Like Nicholas Lyndhurst, was filmed at the Hammersmith Apollo. A multi-award-winning comedian with a reputation as a first class live act, Gilbert has been a sell-out sensation at the Edinburgh Festival every year since 2005 and has been invited to perform at every major international festival in the world. A former winner of Time Out's Comic Of The Year, Rhod is truly cemented as one of the foremost touring acts in the country. Currently touring his latest show, which has the same title as his DVD, Rhod is performing live to over 100,000 people in sell-out shows across the country including three nights at London's prestigious Hammersmith Apollo. Rhod has also been awarded his own Radio Two series, Rhod Gilbert's Bulging Barrel Of Laughs, which features regular guests, stand-up comedians and live music from hit bands. Also on Radio Two, Rhod's stand-up world was recently depicted in a pilot entitled Rhod Gilbert's Leaving Llanbobl, based in the fictional Welsh village, which has become a common feature in his stand-up routines. Rhod is now busy developing the show with Babycow for TV broadcast. He continues to present his Saturday morning weekly radio show for BBC Wales and continues to fly the flag for Wales, fronting a TV campaign for the Welsh Tourist Board.
