Rhod Gilbert: deadpan Welsh funnyman

Since turning professional in 2002, award-winning funnyman Rhod Gilbert has become a regular face (and voice) on television and radio panel shows, performed stand-up on the Royal Variety Performance, and travelled the world performing his deadpan stand-ups routines - not bad for a man who only got into comedy "thanks to a girlfriend’s constant nagging".

An instant success, Gilbert's first solo show (titled 1984) was nominated for the Perrier Newcomer award at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe, while his subsequent tours and DVDs have showcased the Welshman as one of the UK's most consistent performers. Don't miss out on the chance to see one of the comedian's acclaimed shows live: buy Rhod Gilbert tickets at StubHub UK now, assured under our industry-first FanProtect Guarantee.

On television, Gilbert has appeared on BBC panel shows such as Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Have I Got News for You; Channel 4's 8 out of 10 Cats, and presented BBC 2 Wales' Rhod Gilbert's Teen Tribes. In 2008, Gilbert appeared on the BBC's Live at the Apollo, and in 2009, he hosted the show, introducing fellow comedian John Bishop. In August 2010, the BBC commissioned eight episodes of Ask Rhod Gilbert: the show featured Gilbert, Greg Davies and Lloyd Langford answering random trivia questions, such as 'Who would win in a race, Usain Bolt or a grizzly bear?', posed by the public and celebrities, with additional celebrity guests on the panel.
