Rhod Gilbert, the self-styled Welsh Misery, brings his hilariously titled new show to the Hammersmith Apollo after sell-out success during the summer festival season. With his bellowing voice and distinctive Welsh twang, the 40-year-old from Carmarthen is renowned for having a pop at the imperfections and fakery of modern living - be it the logic of toilet-cleaning rotas, the provenance of service station mince pies that claim to be "award-winning" or the baffling system of duvet "togs" set against the supposed advantages of goose over duck-down stuffing. But Gilbert is at his best when parodying the Welshman and talking about his homeland - even if his show is now more refined from his early material about growing up in the fictional town of Llanbobl. "I wanted to be somewhere dryer than Wales," starts one gag. "So I joined the Navy. One night it stopped raining. You never forget that first dry dream." As The Independent says, Gilbert is "a fantastic, fantastical comedian [...] comedy manna from heaven".About Hammersmith Apollo
Once London's largest all-seater venue, the Hammersmith Apollo has a 3,600 capacity for seated shows and a 5,000 capacity for standing-room-only gigs. It was renovated in 2002, and now works well as a venue for theatre (hosting a huge variety of shows from Riverdance to Thomas the Tank Engine) as well as rock concerts. More about Hammersmith Apollo
