August Comedy Night 2024 Event Information page

Comedy Night August 9th at 8pm.  Compered by the fantastic Tom Glover.

August’s Comedy Night line up:

Open - Steve Day

Steve Day, the original (and maybe not entirely deaf) deaf comedian, is coming to town! This award-winning funnyman is a whirlwind of side-splitting wit and hilarious observations on life.

The Guardian themselves called him "revelatory and very funny," and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Steve's a regular on Radio 4, a touring powerhouse across the UK and Europe, and even managed to dramatically share the stage (and maybe a punch?) with the legendary Bill Nighy. Critics adore him (Time Out Comic's Choice called him a "hilarious, hard-of-hearing, heavenly host"), audiences love him (Chortle raved about his "self-effacing charm")

Middle – Kris Davies

High energy hard working. Grunge Comedian with a dash of music.

His relatable and well-crafted jokes are taken from his twenty years of being a youth worker, a grandfather at 41, parental experiences of Neurodiversity, music festivals and his own wayward youth. Accompanied by a range of original songs and ditties. He has supported Kiri Pritchard Mclean, Stephen Baily, Nish Kumar, Harriet Kemsley and Bobby Mair and performed all over the UK including Cardiff and Birmingham Glee Clubs, Sandy Park stadium Exeter, Belly laughs, and London’s Back yard comedy, The Stand-Up club and the Bill Murray.

As a Welsh language Learner, he made his Welsh Language Comedy Debut in Pontardawe Arts Centre in 2021 and performed at the National Eisteddfod after learning Welsh for a year.
