Description

Leading British stand up comedian Rhod Gilbert finally has to do a proper job. He’s not laughing this time – but we certainly are..

Comedian Rhod Gilbert goes a long way out of his comfort zone to tackle a series of demanding 'day jobs'. I couldn't do what you do,' is the comment Rhod Gilbert hears more than any other when people talk to him about his life as a stand-up comedian. People seem to think anyone prepared to earn a living trying to make people laugh is taking on one of the toughest jobs in the world. But are they right? As far as Rhod's concerned there's only one way to find out - by trying his hand at some of the everyday jobs people seem to think are easier than his and then drawing his own conclusions.
