2for1 Pizza at Nonna Said when attending Rob Thomas insists hes happy. His face disagrees. His vibe disagrees. Even his own material disagrees. Still, hes doing his best to be a top-tier husband, father and functioning adult despite the wife, kid and entirely his own melodramatics. After supporting some of the UKs biggest comedy heavyweights (Paul Smith, Troy Hawke, Adam Rowe & more), Rob finally unleashes his debut tour. Youll know him as the host of Another One Podcast, a guest on Have A Word and Green Room, and from the millions whove watched him online instead of doing something productive.
