COMEDIAN Rhod Gilbert will be bringing his first stand-up show in six years to Blackburn next year.

The Book of John has been inspired by a man Rhod met who changed his life and encouraged him to return to performing.

A familiar face on TV, Rhod has had his own series trying out other people’s jobs and has also been a panellist on shows ranging from 8 Out of 10 Cats to Have I Got News For you?

Tickets go on sale at 10am tomorrow.

Rhod Gilbert, King George’s Hall, Blackburn, Thursday, February 28. Details from 0844 847 1664 or www.kinggeorgeshall.com
