Rhod Gilbert has added lots of new dates to his first tour in seven years entitled The Book of John. The new shows include a ten-night run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

As one of the UK’s leading stand-up comedy talents, Gilbert has enjoyed many successful years as a star of television and radio. He has amassed eight series of his hugely popular ‘Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience’.  He is the current host of BBC2’s ‘The Apprentice: You’re Fired’ and is the former host of ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’.  He has regularly hosted ‘Have I Got News for You?’ and has appeared countless times on ‘Qi’, ‘Would I Lie to You?’ and ‘8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’. He has hosted ‘Live at The Apollo’ on multiple occasions and has twice performed on ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ and appeared on the last series of the Bafta award-winning ‘Taskmaster’.

A lot has happened to Rhod in the six years since he last toured. And just when he thought he’d hit rock bottom, he met a bloke...called John. This show sees Rhod as funny as ever, but like never before. ‘The Book of John’ is raw, personal and brutally honest; no more lies, no more nonsense.  

Full Rhod Gilbert tour dates are below with the new dates starred.
