About the show

Rhys has made a discovery that could fix everything. It's been staring him in the face the whole time, in a mirror held behind his head. If he can ignore his own problems for long enough, he might just be able to solve yours.

A fast, forensic show of big ideas and gag-dense overthinking from one of the nation's sharpest stand ups.

Star of TLC's Mock The Week and BBC Radio 4's Rhysearch, also seen furrowing his brow on QI, Live At The Apollo and his viral U&Dave lecture, 'I Stalk Strangers Online'.

Featuring - Rhys James

Rhys James appearing at this event

'Rhys James is a comedian who began performing in 2009 in student competitions such as Comedy Central's Funniest Student in 2010, and Chortle's Student Comedy Award. He made his Edinburgh debut as a performer for The Pleasance Comedy Reserve in 2010, and again in 2012 as a performer in AAA- Stand Up. He has also written material for Russell Howard's Good News (http://www.chortle.co.uk).

He’s a super-sharp writer, with a ton of smart, intricately-written jokes and stories where you’re never more than a few seconds away from another punchline.

'Highly amusing' (The Stage).
