Griff Rhys Jones The Cat's Pyjamas: Brand New National Tour from May

Multi award-winning comedian, writer, actor, and television presenter Griff Rhys Jones is set to embark on his next national stand-up tour this summer with his much-anticipated, brand-new show ‘The Cat’s Pyjamas’.

Sharing witty observations and rambling comic stories, Griff’s funny anecdotes have covered an astonishingly diverse range of subjects: from TV travel , his childhood, Welsh family, age, fraud, late night trains and nostalgia to the TikTok generation, crocodile smuggling, and opal noodling in Australia.

Questions and improvised interaction withthe audience mean the show varies from night to night. And takes him from adventures, holidays, dog sitting, burning boats, drink and anger-management, to meetings with rock celebrities and royalty. Wherever his associations wander.

‘The Cat’s Pyjamas’ follows Griff’s successful tours: “Jones and Smith”, “Where Was I?” which saw him play to capacity crowds across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and his pre-Covid longest and biggest yet: ‘All Over The Place’,
