Book NowAbout Show And Tell
Rhys James has written a memoir about dread and not wanting to do things — a subject he finds it nuts to then take on stage to talk about. This book tour event at Monkey Barrel 3 features Rhys in conversation with one of his comedy cohorts, reading sections, riffing, sharing bonus poetry and signing copies afterwards. The show is presented by Show And Tell and runs 60 minutes for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A comedian on book tour doing what he does best — talking about not wanting to do things, whilst very clearly doing things. Conversational, funny and ending with a book signing, this is a relaxed sixty-minute show that rewards Rhys James fans and curious newcomers alike.
