Clearly someone said to Rhod: 'I bet you couldn't get a potato delivered to the Queen herself' and he was like 'Challenge accepted' and then wrote the whole story around it! Brilliant!

[@bethanymonday3726]

I remember my 8yo self laughing my head off at this. I was in tears from how hilarious I thought this was. I went on about it for 4 years and would laugh every time I thought of it.

[@CoolAsFreya]

The two potatoes routine is my favorite routine from Rhod ever! seen nearly every different performance of it recorded!

[@jillianbland]

I love Her Majesty

[@katyb6979]

Cracks me up every time I hear this routine 🤣🤣

[@eleanorxxxxxxx]

Suicide note and a pan of mash XD

[@Sam-vr3ss]

i wonder if that potato actually made it to her

[@marywood8794]

Was the Queen actually there? All the clips that I've seen of any of the royal variety performances have had either Charles or his sons in a special box close to the stage. I would have liked to see her reaction.

[@my_beer_stories]

According to Wiki, she attended that one.

[@KT-dj4iy]

2:56 is that Mitch McConnell (US Senate minority leader) and his wife Elaine Chao?

[@g3ntl323]

It did actually ... but unfortunately it made a suicide pact with a depressed cabbage. The Queen ended up with bubble and squeak for breakfast!

[@IrishDan89]

so his material for the royal performance was something that he claimed happened to him a few hours ago, had he nothing prepared? haha

[@jakemaddocks7187]

IrishDan89 he admits he makes everything up but this year, on tour, he has some actual real life stories!

[@jordanguppy5316]

Now the real question is: what did she do with the potato.

[@peterdickinson7842]

Max Boyce. He was good!

[@sophiepayne7070]

LOL

[@meirwise1107]

[@aidansmyth6480]

Jeez, dull as dishwater.

[@rehabwales]
