Ed Gamble (Russell Howard’s Good News, Dave’s
One Night Stand, mustard stain on his front)
returns to the Machynlleth Comedy Festival with
brand new bits and some of his old classics (you
can’t prove they’re not classic.)
He supports Greg Davies and Russell Kane on
tour, does the cult favourite Peacock & Gamble
Podcast and once made a full sandwich whilst
still in bed.

PatOPOtamOOse
Patapotamoose is a one-hour comedy safari from one of Canada’s
funniest land mammals, who now resides in the UK, Pat Burtscher. He
approaches mature topics from the environment, prison, art school and
space exploration with a childlike silliness. In short, Patapotamoose is like
watching snippets of the BBC through a fun house mirror and will show
you a glimpse into the mind of one of the most imaginative and funny
comedians working today. See it while you still can.
Mae Patapotamoose yn saffari comedi un awr gan un o famaliaid tir
doniolaf Canada, sydd bellach yn byw yn y DU, Pat Burtscher. Mae’n ymdrin
â phynciau aeddfed yr amgylchedd, carchar, ysgol gelf ac archwilio’r gofod
gyda ffolineb plentynnaidd. Yn fyr, mae Patapotamoose yn debyg i wylio
pytiau ar y BBC drwy ddrych tŷ hwyl a bydd yn dangos cipolwg i chi ar
feddwl un o’r digrifwyr mwyaf dychmygus a doniol sy’n gweithio heddiw.
Ewch i’w weld tra gallwch chi.

“The ancient capital of Wales” it says on the
signs. Really? So should we all storm Cardiff and
demand it back? Machynlleth-based writer and
broadcaster Mike Parker gives us an armchair tour
of our host town, calling at Hippy Central, Mispronunciation
Parkway and Inebriation Junction.
“Prifddinas hynafol Cymru” dyna mae’n ei ddweud
ar yr arwyddion. Wir? Felly ddylai pob un ohonom
ymosod ar Gaerdydd a’i hawlio’n ôl? Mae’r awdur
a’r darlledwr Mike Parker sy’n byw ym Machynlleth
yn rhoi taith cadair freichiau i ni o gwmpas y dref
sy’n ein croesawu, gan alw mewn mannau diddorol
ar y ffordd.

Horse And louis
the Curse OF the Fetid CrOw
Jovial guitar chaps Horse & Louis battle their
greatest (and only) enemy yet: a terrifying
ancient curse that threatens to tear them apart
like cheap pastry. Join the Musical Comedy Award
runners-up (2010) and hosts (2011/12) on a
musical-sketch-horror-comedy adventure.
Mae’r gitaryddion llawen Horse a Louis yn
brwydro yn erbyn eu gelyn mwyaf eto (a’u hunig
elyn): melltith hynafol frawychus sy’n bygwth
eu rhwygo ar wahân fel toes rhad. Ymunwch â’r
rhai ddaeth yn ail yn y Wobr Gomedi Gerddorol
(2010) a’r gwesteion (2011/12) ar antur
gerddorol-sgets-arswyd-gomedi.

Following triumphant occupations of
London and Edinburgh the ACMS marches on
Machynlleth in pursuit of further hubris.
Dismayed at not having a left-field comedy
night stuffed to the gills with hilarious
invention? Well this might be the night for you
(depending on your tastes). Basically, if it’s your
sort of thing, you’ll love it. Hosted by Thom Tuck
and John-Luke Roberts, stuffed with guests
from around the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
Stuffed, stuffed, stuffed.
A noble failure!
Yn dilyn ymddangosiadau gorfoleddus
yn Llundain a Chaeredin mae’r ACMS yn
gorymdeithio i Fachynlleth wrth fynd ar
drywydd ‘hubris’ pellach.

Here’s a bit of fun, get a green pen and a red
pen then underline in the appropriate pen the
bits in this blurb that you think Microsoft Word
underlined. The winner gets another pen.
James Acaster returns to Machynlleth with a
brand new show. A show full of comedy – full
to the brim. There’ll be routine after routine
until the/a finale. This could be big.
Dyma ychydig o hwyl, chwiliwch am feiro wyrdd
a beiro goch yna tanlinellwch gyda’r beiro
briodol y darnau yn y broliant hwn y credwch
y gwnaeth Microsoft Word eu tanlinellu. Mae’r
enillydd yn cael beiro arall.
Ydych chi wedi’ch siomi o beidio â chael noson
gomedi llawn o ddyfeisiadau doniol? Wel efallai
mai hon fydd y noson i chi (yn dibynnu ar eich
chwaeth). Yn syml, os mai dyma eich math
chi o beth, byddwch wrth eich bodd. Cynhelir
y noson gan Thom Tuck a John-Luke Roberts, a
bydd yn llawn dop gyda gwesteion o bob cwr o
Wyl Gomedi Machynlleth. Llawn dop.
Methiant bonheddig!
“Genuinely alternative and properly comedic” -
The Guardian.
Mae James Acaster yn dychwelyd i Fachynlleth
gyda sioe newydd sbon. Sioe llawn o gomedi -
llawn at yr ymylon. Bydd yna act ar ôl act tan y
diweddglo. Gallai hyn fod yn fawr.
