‘Rapier wit’ is defined as clever,
quick, intelligent humour.

of a gentleman’ and even if
you like him, ‘clever, quick and
intelligent’ is a bit of a stretch.

Following his performance on Live at the Apollo and a sold-

new show. Last year, he punched a shop-assistant over the
duvet tog-rating system and went beserk over a mince pie.
Stung by accusations that he over-reacts, Rhod sets
out to discover the truth. Is he a visionary in a sea of
closed minds, or has he, as everyone else believes,
got anger-management problems?
