As seen on Live At The Apollo and Ask Rhod Gilbert. Following several sell-out UK tours and best-selling stand-up DVDs, the Welsh wonder is back with a brand new live show. His stand-up rants on life's minor irritations are legendary, but this year, he's a more mellow fellow altogether. He's now so laid-back he even let someone tattoo a Battenberg on him. Could it be the Mr Angry of comedy as you've never seen him before? 'Without doubt one of the best comedians anywhere in the world' (Time Out). www.rhodgilbertcomedian.com.

Following several sell-out UK tours and best-selling stand-up DVDs, multi-award winning welsh wonder Rhod Gilbert is back on the road with a brand new live show. A regular on Live At The Apollo and with his own BBC One show Ask Rhod Gilbert, he's one of the world's hottest comedians. As part of his mammoth 101 date UK tour Rhod will perform at the Edinburgh Festival's premiere venue the EICC for 12 dates this August.

His stand-up rants on life's minor irritations are legendary, but this year, he's a more mellow fellow altogether. He's now so laid-back he even let someone tattoo a Battenberg on him. Will the new, chilled-out Rhod get his girl and live happily ever after, or will it be microwaved baked potato for one again? Could it be the Mr Angry of comedy as you've never seen him before?
