After five years of sobriety, Rhys Mathewson started to relapse. Now in front of a room of strangers, he’s ready to share exactly what happened, from the moment it started to the moment we are all in here together….and it will be hilarious!

In this sharp, vulnerable and deeply personal hour, the Billy T and Fred Award-winning comic (Have you Been Paying Attention, Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, 7 Days, Dancing With The Stars) unpacks addiction, shame, compassion and the chaos of being human, all with gut-punch realness and side-splitting humour.
