We promised more fantastic news and here it is! Richard Herring will be finishing his UK tour of "What Is Love, Anyway?" at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.

"To say we've had a good couple of weeks is an understatement" said festival director Henry Widdicombe. "It's a testament to the teams efforts to create such a unique event in the comedy calender that we can now attract acts such as Richard Herring and Stewart Lee to Machynlleth."

RICHARD HERRING - WHAT IS LOVE, ANYWAY?

"What is l-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uhve anyway?
Does anybody love anybody anyway?" 

So asked the insane, Welsh, poet-philosopher, Howard Jones in 1983. But in the intervening 28 years no one has dared to answer his questions?

Until Now.

STEWART LEE - CARPET REMNANT WORLD

A new full length touring show from the acclaimed star of BBC2’s Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. “The funniest thing on television" The Guardian

What can a sexless middle aged married man, whose life now consists mainly of watching Scooby Doo cartoons with a four year old boy, possibly find to write comedy about? 

Formerly stand-up’s youthful iconoclast, Lee now gawps blankly at News 24 as Britain burns down around him, and blinks weirdly at the vast wayside retail outlets during endless journeys to and from increasingly indistinct provincial theatres. 

Once he lived on the pleasure planet. 

Now he is trapped in Carpet Remnant World. And so are you.
