FROM dodgy dates to tortuous traffic, comedian and singer Emily Davis shares stories of life as a Welsh woman in London when she brings her one-woman cabaret show to Clarbeston Road.

Sharing her hard-earned tips on ‘how not to live your life’, Emily’s warm wit is more than welcome on a cold winter’s evening.

Described as delivering ‘cynicism with a smile and a killer voice', her set is sprinkled with musical comedy, original songs that any audience can relate to.

Originally from Newport, in Pembrokeshire, Emily moved to London five years ago, but says she has only just got used to seeing more people on a ten-minute walk to the shop than she would in three weeks walking around Fishguard.

“Driving around London is a bit like driving to Eglwyswrw in the summer, because your speed is pretty much that of a John Deere pulling a silage trailer,” she says.

“Before I got here I was expecting it to be like diving into shark infested waters with a sign saying ‘eat me’.

“Happily for me, Londoners love the Welsh, which is probably why I've managed to survive for so long.”

The 31-year-old cut her performing teeth with Haverfordwest Operatic Society, and now performs her cabaret comedy act all over the capital

Emily will be raising the roof at Clarbeston Road Memorial Hall this Sunday, December 28, at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £8, and are available in advance by emailing info@welshgirlsings.co.uk.
