No because it was literally January yesterday and now it's almost MAY?! While I process this, here's what's on this week! The lineup for Glee Club Cardiff is also looking brilliant...😍 

• Steffan Evans

• Louise Atkinson

• Adam Bloom

• Huw Davies

• Emma Hughes

And while you wait for the livestream, here's a 10 minute bit by Rachel Parris from our YouTube for ya! Go give it a like.😁

I told you on the livestream last night we'd be back with another Ask a Comedian soon, but this time, it's a little different! If you follow us on social media, you'll know our comedy clips tend to go 'viral' for lack of a cringe word 🤣. So we thought it would be a good idea to interview these comedians and get some insider knowledge on the bit. The first joke is Alasdair-Beckett King's 'Arguing with an American' which has had over 1.4 MILLION views on Insta. This is what he had to say!

1. Have you had any noticeably offended Americans in the audience? Never! Every American I’ve met in real life was lovely. It’s the ones I haven’t met you have to watch out for.

2. Ever had any history related heckles? For some reason, I attract an unusually pedantic audience. So if I make a factual error on stage (like getting the year the Spinning Jenny was invented wrong) I’m in danger of a heckle. Or, more likely, a polite email.

3. What’s the most niche reference you’ve ever got away with? I recently did a show in Liverpool’s beautiful, but unfortunately named, Epstein Theatre. It’s named after Brian, of course. But it afforded me a few jokes that REALLY wouldn’t make sense anywhere else.

4. How often do you go down historical rabbit holes looking for punchlines? Well, I do a regular podcast called Loremen about folklore and historical oddities, so I would say the funny bits find me.

5. If our readers watch the full show, without giving it away, which is your favourite bit they should look out for? I couldn’t possibly say what the funniest part of the show is. But the most enjoyable part to perform was the VERY relatable bit about painting cows in the 18th century.

Hope you enjoyed gang! I'll be posting more of these regularly for those who like quick reads (and don't worry, videos for Ask a Comedian are still on!) 😁

Ahhh guys! The next Ask a Comedian video is here, so grab some popcorn!🍿

This time, Henning Wehn answered your questions in his usual style. Enjoy!

And if you missed the chance to get up close and personal - keep an eye on the Ask a Comedian channel for the next one (hint hint...Geoff🤩)

What's on this week! The good ol' Bill Murray livestream, that's what!

We haven't heard word about the lineup yet but as usual, it's bound to be a goodie. Who's joining?😍

New Show Alert gang! 🔥

Fresh from hatching a baby girl and a sold-out Edinburgh run, uninhibited feminist with a foul mouth Lily Phillips and her perinium are back.

**** (Daily Express) 'Something special is brewing, that fronts up about the upheaval, sacrifice and overwhelm of new motherhood without stinting on the funny'.

ENJOY! 🫶
