TICKETS to see comedian Rhod Gilbert in Carlisle are going on sale this Friday (September 29). 

The Welshman will be pushing the limits with a hilarious and deeply personal new show, Rhod Gilbert & The Giant Grapefruit. 

He will be playing at The Sands Centre on Saturday, June 7 2025, after performing at the Kendal Leisure Centre on June 6. 

Tickets are priced at £35 and will be available via the Sands Centre website. 

The gig announcement comes at a time in which October events have been postponed at the venue due to the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC). 

The Royal Northern Sinfonia, The Bootleg Beatles and The Waterboys were all due to play, but have subsequently been postponed with no rescheduled dates announced.

A spokesperson for GLL said: “GLL will make every effort to reschedule dates for the affected events. They will contact ticket holders with updates.

“The decision to temporarily close the events space is a precautionary step and does not impact on the day to day running of the main leisure centre.”

It is unclear as to when the auditorium may open with no confirmation given on the future of the pantomime at the Sands Centre.
