'When I was a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Then, I failed to succeed, so I got those childish things straight back out'. After his specials on Amazon Prime and numerous world tours, seasoned comedian Sam Rhodes returns to explore the struggle of a childhood of abundance and an adulthood of scarcity. Have toys and collectables become a "safety net" for modern men? 'The best comedian I’ve seen in a long time' (Steve Whitmire, voice of Kermit the Frog).
