BIOGRAPHY

Print print icon

Rhod Gilbert's battles against bad luck and misunderstanding strike a chord with any audience - making the Welshman one of the most compelling talents to have emerged for years. He has been nominated for a Perrier and an 'if.comedy', and is the proud winner of a BBC New Comedy Award.

Rhod's quick-fire wit combines with a downtrodden view of the world which seems focused on making his life difficult. His unique take on things has seen him become a huge live draw with two UK arena tours to his name as well as his own TV show, Ask Rhod Gilbert, and his own Radio 2 show. He also took on some hard manual labour trying out other people's jobs in BBC2's Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience.

Rhod has also appeared on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. He's often also heard on the Radio 4 on Just A Minute, Heresy and The Unbelievable Truth. He is also the voice of the Welsh Tourist Board and has his own popular show on BBC Radio Wales.

As well as headlining on the London circuit, Rhod has taken his deadpan routine all over the world from Canada to Taiwan. He's even appeared in Iraq, where he performed for British troops in one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces.
