Live Comedy in Penarth

A night of sparkling stand up from some of the best acts on the circuit. Curated and hosted by Lorna Prichard (as heard on BBC Radio Wales). Expect this one to get a little festive..!

PAUL JAMES

Once described as what would happen if Tim Vine hadn't found God, Welsh comic Paul James delivers a set that has the audience reeling from the first joke to the last. His high gag rate has made him a hit with comedy clubs, theatres, universities and bear pits up and down the UK and beyond. Jokes, stories, talking to the audience - if it's funny, he'll do it.
