After five years of sobriety, Rhys Mathewson started to relapse. Now, in front of an audience of strangers, he’s ready to share exactly what happened…

In this sharp, vulnerable and deeply personal hour, the Billy T and Fred Award-winning comic (7 Days, Dancing With The Stars) unpacks addiction, shame, compassion and the chaos of being human — all with gut-punch honesty and side-splitting humour.

“Mathewson walks a remarkable tightrope… 10th Rodeo is a sharp, smart, vulnerable, and surprisingly moving work of comedy.” – The Post

“An expert joke writer… Mathewson remains at the top of his game, and whatever shape this show takes next will remain a must-see.” – NZ Herald
