Dancing About Architecture... its going to be
a chat show for geeks and enthusiasts and
comedy fans and comedians about comedy
itself. Discussing and analysing and going far
deeper than we should into what makes things
funny, why jokes work and don’t, and how to
become a comedian. Featuring comedians from
the festival.
Dawnsio am Bensaernïaeth ... mae’n mynd i fod
yn sioe sgwrs ar gyfer dilynwyr a chefnogwyr
comedi a digrifwyr am gomedi ei hun. Trafod a
dadansoddi a mynd yn llawer dyfnach nag y
dylen ni i mewn i’r hyn sy’n gwneud pethau’n
ddoniol, pam fod jôcs yn gweithio a pham nad

Bydd digrifwyr o’r ŵyl ei hun yn ymddangos.
After 2010’s critically acclaimed show Living
and Dying, Holly returns with new renegade
character comedy that breaks all the rules. Holly
is a stand up and character comedian who has
appeared in four one woman comedy shows in
Edinburgh 2007- 10. One year she performed in
her house where the audience discovered her in
bed; set off fireworks in the shower and threw
meat at her in the kitchen. In another she took
the audience on a walk to the PDSA shop to see
the shrine of a dead dog.
Ar ôl sioe 2010 Living and Dying a gafodd ei
chanmol gan y beirniaid, mae Holly yn dychwelyd
gyda chomedi newydd am gymeriad o wrthgiliwr
sy’n torri’r holl reolau. Mae Holly yn ddigrifwr ac yn
Gareth’s parents could not afford to take the
whole family to Disneyland, so they went
without him.
Gareth has never recovered.
This show is about the devastation caused by a
careless travel booking.
Ni allai rhieni Gareth fforddio cymryd y teulu
cyfan i Disneyland, felly fe aethant hebddo.
Nid yw Gareth erioed wedi dod dros hynny.
Mae’r sioe hon yn ymwneud â’r difrod a
achoswyd gan drefniant teithio diofal.

“An effortlessly assured act… exceptionally
inspired and truly memorable.’ Chortle
gomedïwr cymeriad sydd wedi ymddangos mewn
pedair sioe gomedi un fenyw yng Nghaeredin
2007-10. Un flwyddyn perfformiodd yn ei thŷ lle
mae’r gynulleidfa yn ei darganfod yn y gwely; yn
cynnau tân gwyllt yn y gawod ac yn taflu cig ati yn
y gegin. Mewn un arall aeth â’r gynulleidfa ar daith
gerdded i’r siop PDSA i weld cysegrfa ci marw.
