Volcano Scuppers Jon Richardson!

It is with great regret that we're forced to announce the cancellation of Saturday night's appearance at the festival of Jon Richardson due to the volcanic eruption.

Jon has been at the Melbourne Comedy Festival for the last month and the disruption caused by the volcanic eruption means he has been stuck since Monday, and won't now be arriving back in the UK until some time after 29th April.

Robin Ince is a Troubled Youth in Middle Age

Robin Ince claws at the air as he rages against pseudoscience,

philosophy teachers, Carl Sagan and how his child is better than
everyone else's.

Venue: Y Plas. Date: Friday 23 April 2010. Time:9.40pm

Tony Law - Mr Tony's Brainporium

Tony Law will be airing his new show 'Mr Tony's Brainporium' here in Machynlleth.

Its about nothing yet everything. Imagine a person, in the style of stand up, talking nonsense and yet sense. If you like your comedy irreverent, silly, surrealish, sciencey with a bit of history with out it making much sense until you get home., and then maybe the next day only? then come. Think jamming jazz treat without the music.

Venue: Y Plas. Date: Saturday 24 April 2010. Time: 6.30pm
