I'm going to the Edinburgh Fringe with my first ever solo stand-up show Cyril and tickets are now available from the EdFringe and Gilded Balloon websites.
I'll also be doing previews in London at Aces and Eights on 8th July (with the brilliant John-Luke Roberts) and in Cardiff at Rhostio on 14th July (with the fantastic Steffan Alun).
And so you know what you're getting into, here's the bumph...
Cyril Gwynn (1897-1988), also known as The Bard Of Gower, was a tall, sunburnt, unsmiling farmer. Gareth Gwynn (1983-Present) is none of these things. Gareth did not spend WWI in the Navy, has never been shipwrecked, run a farm or emigrated to Australia, but he has found a book of poems by Cyril and is determined to find something they have in common. Solo stand-up debut from the co-writer of BBC One Wales' Tourist Trap, BBC Radio 4's Ankle Tag, as heard on The Now Show, TL;DR and Gareth Gwynn Hasn't Fin-. 'Hilarious' (Guardian).
Gareth and Esyllt's Scrabook is a brand new show for BBC Radio Wales presented by Esyllt Sears and myself.
Inspired by our existing podcast, it's two hours of guests, music and archive, plus a handful of
culinary experiments which go very wrong indeed.
At the time of writing there are four episodes online, but be quick because they fall off BBC Sounds after 30 days - and episode 1 features 1999's BBC New Comedy
Award winner Josie Long, who tells a story about Bob Monkhouse which is
the most delightful clash of old/new showbiz I think I've ever heard.
The show is now available on BBC Sounds - And for more information, do check out the Brecon and Radnor Express.
