A brand new work-in-progress stand-up show from professional little know-it-all Rhys James. Mock, QI, Apollo. Sure. TikTok. Yep. Instagram?
Obviously. But let's be fair, released a book in 2025 too and went on Channel 5 News to plug it.
This show will be funny, but maybe not as funny as in a few months' time.
