Acts @ The Funny Side :
Rhod Gilbert
Rhod Gilbert started stand up in early 2002.
In his first 18 months, he reached the finals of every major new talent competition in the UK and has now emerged as one of the most promising and exciting
talents on the UK and international comedy scene.
After being singled out by the Sunday Times as "One to watch" in 2005 Rhod went on to scoop the Chortle Award for Best Breakthrough Act and then made a huge
splash at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival with his hotly anticipated debut show 'Rhod Gilbert's 1984' which earned him a nomination for the Perrier Newcomer
Award.
At the 2006 Edinburgh Festival his second solo show, 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' was a sell out smash and almost earned him an If.com Eddy
nomination. Demand for tickets meant extra shows in venues four times the size of the room he was originally booked to play.
2006 was a great year beyond live stand up as Rhod was named in The Times's Top 50 Comedians, alongside Ricky Gervais and Eddie Izzard.
In April he was a guest on 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' and hosted a new comedy quiz show for BBC Radio Wales called 'Jest A Minute'.
