RHYS MATHEWSON
10th Rodeo
From starting to relapse after five years of sobriety to today, do not miss this “…sharp, smart, vulnerable, and surprisingly moving work of comedy” about mistakes, addiction, compassion and how to live. Rhys Mathewson (7 Days) is unflinchingly honest and side-splittingly funny.
After five years of sobriety, in January 2024 Rhys Mathewson started to relapse. So now, in front of a room full of strangers, Rhys will tell you exactly what happened from the moment it started right up to the moment we are all in here together.
And it will be hilarious.
