Review: The Laugharne Weekend

Although there was plenty of top rate comedy slotted in between the art, I have to be honest. The funniest set actually came from a musician.

Comedians join the line-up of Laugharne Weekend

The line-up this year includes Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Jen Brister, Nick Revell, Mark Thomas and Fast Show star-turned-author Charlie Higson.

Robin Ince will reprise his 2021 Linda Smith lecture, which involved talking and smashing a watermelon. The Linda Smith Lecture was established in 2015 as an annual event to celebrate the much missed comedian's life and work and to reflect on the comedy business.

Review: Laugharne Weekend

It has regularly been said that the Laugharne Festival is a dream-like event. And this year's three-day arts reverie in the small town in South Wales where Dylan Thomas used to write was no exception.

Laugharne Weekend Festival saved

This year's Laugharne Weekend Festival will go ahead as planned. There was a risk that the future of the unique South Wales Festival was in jeopardy following the shock withdrawal of an annual £20,000 Arts Council grant, but a sucessful crowdfunding campaign and support from the Welsh Assembly has saved the day. The UK's quirkiest arts festival, running from 27 - 29 March, celebrates 13 years with leading artists, comedians, musicians, authors and poets.

There's a school of thought that the Edinburgh Fringe is a Young Person's Game. But actually in recent years it has become an older person's game too. Maybe they are the baby boomer generation who can afford to lose a few grand every August or maybe they just love the thrill of the Fringe and the art of stand-up. Whatever the reasons here are some comedians who know the game inside out and are the collective epitome of a safe pair of comedy hands. And no, they are not listed in descending order of chronology. We'll not be having any age before beauty here. Some of them might not be doing a full Fringe run, but at their age I think we can allow them a few days off.

My comedy hero: Nick Revell on Richard Pryor

One of the veterans of the UK comedy scene, Nick Revell is taking his BrokenDreamCatcher show across the UK. Here, he picks the US icon as his comedy hero.

In BrokenDreamCatcher, Nick Revell gives us a different style of comedy storytelling, where he takes his audience by the hand and leads it to unexpected, magical places. Last week, he examined the world of conspiracy theories. His list of Illuminati members made me laugh.
