A TV star and comedian, who has recently battled cancer, is bringing his latest tour to the Ipswich stage next year. 

Rhod Gilbert has announced that he will be going on tour again after receiving treatment for stage four head and neck cancer following a diagnosis last summer. 

The comedian has appeared on a range of TV shows, including Work Experience with Rhod Gilbert and Taskmaster. 

His latest tour, Rhod Gilbert and the Giant Grapefruit will be stopping at the Ipswich Regent on Thursday, June 13, 2024.

The theatre announced the news on its social media accounts, in a post that read: "In his last show ‘The Book of John’, Rhod was dealing with some pretty pungent life citrus, and an idiot called John.

"But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty.

"Hilariously dark, passionate and way too personal, this is classic Gilbert, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs ... with a little help from an old adversary."

Tickets go on sale on Friday, September 29 and can be purchased through the Ipswich Regent's website.
