Rhod Gilbert Reschedules January UK Shows Of The Book Of John Tour To May And June
Thursday, 05 January 2023
Written by Laura Johnson
Rhod Gilbert has rescheduled the postponed UK shows of The Book Of John Tour.
The Welsh comedian had performances lined up for January, but in late December announced that these would not be going ahead due to needing his gallbladder removed in the new year because of, "gallstones and recurring gallbladder infections that kick like a donkey and need hospital treatment."
He will now head to venues in Hereford, Swansea, Truro and Bath in May, and Yeovil and Barnstaple in June. Original tickets remain valid.
Within the statement shared on his website and social media channels, Gilbert shared that he was, "recovering well from my cancer treatment." Read it in full below.
Huge thanks to everyone who has been in touch; reading all your messages of concern and support has been a welcome distraction and given me a real lift, so thanks.
As many of you will know, I am recovering well from my cancer treatment and can’t wait to get back to work next year. Happy days.
Less happy days, I’ve been thrown another curveball in the from of gallstones and recurring gallbladder infections that kick like a donkey and need hospital treatment. I am having surgery to remove the offending gallbladder, and this is scheduled to happen early in the New Year.
So, I hate doing this but I am going to have to postpone my January tour shows. I genuinely can’t wait to get back on stage, but on doctor’s advice, I’ll have to wait a little longer and we are postponing the remaining 7 shows.
All tickets will remain valid for the new dates; you do not have to do anything; venue box offices (or Ticketmaster if you booked with them) will be in touch in due course.
I really hope that ticket-holders are able to make it to the new dates. They are the last few shows on my ‘Book of John’ tour, and I’m very much looking forward to getting out there, back to what I love doing and performing the show live again.
I thank each and every one of you for your continuing patience…rest assured the show WILL go on.
Merry Xmas
Big Love, Rhod.
