Comedy: Sketch

A new comedy sketch show, written by & starring some of Wales' best female comic talents.

A brand new comedy sketch show, written by and starring a chorus of Wales' best female comic talents. This is a sketch show unlike any you’ve ever heard.

A brand new comedy sketch show inspired by the lyrical poetry of this fair land, set among our beautiful rolling hills and our breath-taking mountain vistas. Featuring a band of quirky characters - from Huberty Puberty, the teenage boy who is always lying about his age to the Mermaid who washes up in Port Talbot looking a bit the worse for wear and the bickering elderly ladies perplexed by Snapchat and up in arms about street food. Written by and starring a chorus of our most thrilling female comic talents: Sarah Breese (Tourist Trap), Mali-Ann Rees ( Tourist Trap), Beth Granville (Foiled), Sian Harries (Tourist Trap), Kath Hughes (Gein’s Family Giftshop), and Ruth Madoc as The Narrator, this is a sketch show unlike any you’ve ever heard.

Comedy sketch show written by and starring Wales' best female comic talents

Comedy sketch show written by and starring Wales' best female comic talents. We traverse the length of the land, exploring nooks, crooks, crannies and Grannies.

Guided by our mysterious, omnipotent and surprisingly judgemental narrator, we'll traverse the length of the land, exploring nooks and crooks, crannies and Grannies, as we poke our nose in and poke a stick at all the weird and wonderful characters this country has to offer.
 
In this first episode of the series, we'll meet a host of new faces, from One-Take-Tiffany, an actor struggling with regional accents; to Jules the wedding dressmaker whose observations hit a little too close to home; a gardener whose celebrity clientele has redefined their landscaping; Grizelda, Santa's fast-talking no-nonsense agent; the original Swan from Swansea, and many more.
 
Written by a team of established and up-and-coming comedians, and performed by: Laura Dalgleish (Bravo 2 Charlies), Beth Granville (Foiled), Sian Harries (Tourist Trap), Kath Hughes (Geins Family Giftshop), Mali-Ann Rees (Tourist Trap), with Ruth Madoc (Hi-De-Hi!) as The Narrator, this is a sketch show unlike any you've ever heard...since series one.
 
This episode was written by: Gabby Hutchinson-Crouch, Morgan Rees, Gareth Gwynn, Ben Partridge, Beth Granville, Dan Thomas, Rhiannon Shaw, Dan Kiss, and Liam Power.
