Rhod Gilbert explains funny business about our campaign for Wales

The BBC show Funny Business, screened last week, examines how comedians can make large sums of money from corporate gigs and endorsements. Basically, the show aimed to make comics feel guilty for selling out to The Man. Welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert, who featured in our campaign for Visit Wales, was interviewed for the programme. In
the clip below he speaks about the experience. Rhod explains that, though he'd be uncomfortable with many ad campaigns, he was happy in this instance to help us bring tourists to his homeland.

Backflip

Interesting all staffer from Mat Kramer, Tony Davidson and Kim Papworth's assistant this afternoon.

Hi everyone

Can anyone here do a backflip?

Or a cartwheel?

We may need you this afternoon…

Mat

Not sure what Tony and Kim have in mind for their 2pm meeting but I might just hang around the Love Lounge to find out…
