Animal Quote by Rhod Gilbert
“When I started, I used to be like a tiger. My comedy developed in the comedy clubs in London and up and down the country, and I used to bounce onto the stage like an animal let out of its cage. In some of those comedy clubs, in the early days, I had to come out fighting.”
