A service station somewhere.  Christmas 2007. About 2.40am.  Rhod Gilbert finds himself standing in the coffee shop bit, armed with a travel pillow, a flask and a very powerful torch, aggressively demanding to know more about an 'Award-Winning Mince Pie' on display on the counter.

Suddenly aware of what he is doing, Rhod is forced to acknowledge that he may be having a very mild nervous breakdown.   How did it come to this?  He doesn’t even like Mince Pies.  The pressures of living in a tedious, pointless and absurd world surrounded by idiots have finally taken their toll.   

Perhaps he should never have left his fantasy world of Llanbobl in the first place.

This is the slightly ridiculous story of how one Mince Pie broke the camel’s back.

PRESS FROM EDINBURGH FESTIVAL 2008

“Tonight, Rhod Gilbert was on fire…comedy manna from heaven”
***** INDEPENDENT

“Rhod Gilbert has finally surpassed all expectations.  This is exhilarating stand-up, misguided rage elevated to a sublime degree of storytelling…a journey so unremittingly trivial yet gloriously intense that I almost lost track of all time”
***** SCOTSMAN
