Griff Rhys Jones is back on the road with the second tour of his much-anticipated brand new stand-up show, following a hugely successful run last year. Join Griff as he shares more funny observations and comic stories. The show always varies as Griff rambles on the developing national permacrisis. Age. Family. Fraud. Nostalgia. The Tik Tok generation. Crocodile smuggling and noodling in Australia. Travel, dogs, hotels, drink and midnight trains. He takes questions from the audience and lets rip as his associations wander.
