Yr Egin is very pleased to announce the three comedians who will be travelling Wales for one week only at the start of March as part of the ‘Talent Mewn Tafarn’ project. Following an open call, the three chosen to travel in the ‘Hileri-bws’ (Hilari-bus) and gallop and gig from north to south Wales from 4 - 8 March will be Caryl Burke, Steffan Evans and Josh Pennar.
You may have seen Steffan Evans on tour around Wales before supporting Elis James, this time he will have an MC role for most of the nights and, according to Steffan, he is -
‘Looking forward to going on tour across the country with good, nice comedians. The only minibus I have been on recently is the rail replacement buses from Carmarthen to Clunderwen. This will be much more fun.
I’m eager to make people from different places in Wales laugh at my life stories. I want you to laugh…please!’
Caryl Burke has been travelling across Britain entertaining and gaining experience as a stand-up. Speaking about the opportunity to go on the ‘Hileri-bws’, she said -
"Before the ‘Talent Mewn Tafarn’ gig at the Vic in Llithfaen (back in March 2023) I had only done one Welsh gig, so this opportunity to do 5 Welsh gigs, across Wales, is very exciting. It will also be a very valuable opportunity to try new material and to learn some tips from two comedians (Steffan and Josh) who are much more experienced than me! I’m really looking forward to spending a week laughing with the talented crew!"
Josh Pennar isn’t afraid of dealing with the big issues of the day from the future of the Welsh language to how to open packets of spaghetti. He is looking forward to the trip and to creating new content every day for the local community as part of the challenge.
The ‘Hileri-bws’ will visit 5 places and the tickets each night will be raising money for a local organisation or activity, so go ahead and book a ticket to have a night of laughter in the company of Caryl, Steffan, Josh and friends who will be joining them on some nights.
