Rhod Gilbert and the Giant Grapefruit

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

When life gives Rhod lemons… In his last show ‘The Book of John’, Rhod was dealing with some pretty pungent life citrus, and an idiot called John. Little did he know that things were about to turn even more sour… But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty. Hilariously dark, passionate and way too personal, this is classic Gilbert, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs…with a little help from an old adversary. Show Content Warning: Rhod’s show is about cancer and has heavily emotive moments Blue Jeans Management Proudly Presents RHOD GILBERT & THE GIANT GRAPEFRUIT
