CARDIGAN Castle is to stage a three-day comedy bonanza this summer.

The ‘Comedy in the Castle’ weekend, a co-promotion with the town’s Theatr Mwldan, kicks off on Thursday, June 21 with a set from comedy heavyweight Mark Steel, followed by two double bills from four of the finest comedians currently on the British stand-up circuit today: Lou Sanders and Ed Gamble (Friday, June 22) and Matt Forde and Glenn Moore (Saturday, June 23).

Hot on the heels of his brilliant sell-out show ‘Who Do I Think I Am’, Mark Steel returns with a new show ‘Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright’, reflecting on the events of the last couple of years (first Brexit then Trump!) and where we seem to find ourselves now.

Star of Radio 4’s ‘Mark Steel’s in Town’, and newspaper columnist of the year, we’re delighted that he’s back on the road and that the road will bring him back to Cardigan on June 21.

On Friday June 22, there is a comedy double bill. Lou Sanders is one of the most original comedians in Britain; a winning combination of brilliant writing, a shameless stage persona and leanings towards the surreal.

Also on the bill, the undeniably posh but agreeably self-deprecating, Ed Gamble, who hits the stage with quick wit and infectious enthusiasm.

Saturday, June 23 brings another double bill from Matt Forde and Glenn Moore. Matt Forde is one of the country’s most in-demand satirists. Glenn Moore, a critically acclaimed and prolific stand-up, is known for his distinctive and inventive jokes.

All in all this promises to be an excellent weekend and an absolute must for any comedy fans to go and see some of the best and freshest talent in comedy today.

All the shows start at 8pm (doors 7pm) and tickets, priced at £15 for each night, are available to book from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200 and online at www.mwldan.co.uk. Further live events are due to be announced in the coming weeks.
