Now, Rod takes to the stage at The Capitol in Horsham on Saturday, May 2 (8pm), the first night of his eagerly awaited debut tour.

The son of renowned Welsh sports writer Karl Woodward, Rod was tipped for stardom by such luminaries as Peter Kay and the late Bob Monkhouse and has since gone on to win the Best Newcomer to Variety award, Encore Magazine’s Entertainer of the Year and BBC’s Funny Business. His television appearances include The Comedians, The Rush Hour, A Bit Off The Fringe, and Am I Talking To You.
