W e’re back for year 4 of the Aberystwyth Comedy Festival, and after the huge success of 2021 we expect another bumper year for comedy in the town. It’s an absolute joy to put on an event like this in Aberystwyth, and fill the town with laughter over the weekend. With almost double the shows from last year it’s going to bigger and better than ever. We experience so much support for the event locally and want to thank Aberystwyth University and Aberystwyth Town Council in particular. This year the event has also had considerable support from Welsh Government showing that they share our vision for the potential growth and importance of this event for the country. We also launch a number of free to attend workshops in partnership with BBC Comedy, aimed to help anyone looking to break into the industry including opportunities on comedy characters and shorts, podcasting and radio and starting out in stand up.

ABERYSTWYTHGOMEDIGŴYLMANYLION
2022 marks the 4th Aberystwyth Comedy Festival. Acting as the sister festival for Machynlleth Comedy Festival, this autumn event showcases the best finished comedy shows from the year, alongside a smattering of work in progress shows. We were lucky to return in October 2021, and as one of the first events back to the table after lockdown we felt the collective weight lift as the weekend took place. 2022 will be bigger and better and this has been acknowledged by Welsh Government who have agreed funding for the next 3 years that will see the event continue to expand in size.
Please note, you can’t bring your own alcohol into shows but all venues have somewhere to purchase drinks before each show starts.
Mae 2022 yn nodi pedwerydd Gŵyl Gomedi Aberystwyth. Yn actio yn y chwaer ŵyl i Ŵyl Gomedi Machynlleth, mae digwyddiad yr Hydref hwn yn rhoi llwyfan i’r sioeau comedi gorffenedig gorau o’r flwyddyn, ochr yn ochr â llond gwlad o sioeau gwaith ar y gweill. Roeddem yn ffodus i ddychwelyd ym mis Hydref 2021, ac fel un o’r digwyddiadau cyntaf yn ôl at y bwrdd ar ôl y cyfnod clo, roeddem yn teimlo’r pwysau ar y cyd yn codi wrth i’r penwythnos ddigwydd. Bydd 2022 yn fwy ac yn well ac mae hyn wedi’i gydnabod gan Lywodraeth Cymru sydd wedi cytuno ar gyllid ar gyfer y 3 blynedd nesaf a fydd yn gweld y digwyddiad yn parhau i ehangu o ran maint.
FOOD & DRINK BWYD A DIOD

Enjoy finding your favourites across the weekend!
Mae Aberystwyth yn llawn tafarndai, bariau, caffis, siopau coffi a bwytai o safon.

Mwynhewch ddod o hyd i’ch ffefrynnau yn ystod y penwythnos! Nodwch, ni allwch ddod â’ch alcohol eich hun i mewn i sioeau ond mae gan bob lleoliad rywle i brynu diodydd cyn i bob un ddechrau.

PARKING IN ABERYSTWYTH Parking in and around the seafront is free but often time-limited (between 1 – 4 hours in general). There are unrestricted spaces if you can find them but the best bet is to use a pay & display car park. There are small ones in the town centre including St Michael’s Church (by the Old College) and North Road Car Park (just off the seafront towards Constitution Hill). Larger car parks can be found by Aberystwyth Football Club (heading out of Aber opposite Home Bargains) and Boulevard St Brieuc Car Park (just a bit further down on the left hand side). These are approximately 10-15 minutes walk from the seafront.
PARCIO YN ABERYSTWYTH Mae parcio o amgylch glan y môr am ddim ond yn aml yn rhoi cyfyngiad ar amser (rhwng 1 - 4 awr fel arfer). Mae mannau heb gyfyngiadau os gallwch ddod o hyd iddynt, ond y peth gorau yw defnyddio maes parcio talu ac arddangos. Mae rhai bach yng nghanol y dre, gan gynnwys Eglwys St Michael (ger yr Hen Goleg) a Maes Parcio Heol y Gogledd (yn agos at lan y môr tuag at Craig-las). Mae meysydd parcio mwy ger Clwb Pêl-droed Aberystwyth (ar y ffordd allan o Aber gyferbyn â Home Bargains) a Maes Parcio Boulevard St Brieuc (ychydig yn bellach ar y chwith). Mae’r rhain ryw

Partnership – Experience the Best of Wales… On Rails The Cambrian Railway spans 120 miles of unspoilt natural beauty and is one of the most scenic rail routes in Britain. From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, the Cambrian Main Line takes you over the border into Wales, through rugged mountain terrain, quaint market towns, World Heritage sites and castles, cross country towards the picturesque West coast of Wales. Here it merges into the Cambrian Coastal route offering spectacular views, coastal walks and places to visit along the length of the Gwynedd coast.

Visiting by train is a great way to discover Wales. You’ll see much more from the train than you will by car and almost every town along the Cambrian Line has strong links with Welsh history. From the origins of the Welsh parliament in Machynlleth and the World Heritage site at Harlech Castle to the myths and legends of Borth’s ancient forest and the 26 stations along a 57-mile stretch of the scenic Wales coastal path. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.Aberystwyth

FESTIVAL BOX OFFICE
SWYDDFA DOCYNNAU’R ŴYL Ry’n ni wedi symud… …i’r Stondin Band eiconig ar bromenâd Aberystwyth! Yn ogystal â gallu prynu tocynnau, bydd tîm y Swyddfa Docynnau yn gallu cynghori ar ba sioeau sydd wedi gwerthu pob tocyn, awgrymu dewisiadau eraill, ac ateb cwestiynau am yr ŵyl (neu Aberystwyth ei hun).

We have moved … to the iconic Bandstand on Aberystwyth promenade! As well as being able to buy tickets, the Box Office team will be able to advise on what shows have sold out, suggest alternatives and also answer questions you may have on the festival (or Aberystwyth itself).
BOXINFORMATION/TICKETOFFICE GWYBODAETH AM DOCYNNAU / SWYDDFA DOCYNNAU TICKETS If you want to go and watch something at the festival, you need to buy a ticket for each show you want to go and see. Because different venues have different capacities, there is no ‘festival wristband’ or ‘weekend ticket’ - you choose exactly what you want to see and buy tickets accordingly. ADVANCE TICKETS You can buy tickets for all of the shows by following the links from our website (abercomedyfest.co.uk). Any shows that have sold out will be clearly marked as such on the listings page. All advance tickets bought online will be PRINT AT HOME* If you buy tickets in advance, please ensure that you bring the details with you on the weekend – either on your phone or printed off. You will need to present these details at the venue entrance when you arrive for a show. * Please note: Tickets to Ed Gamble in the Great Hall were sold direct via Aberystwyth Arts Centre Box Office. These are also digital tickets but they will different to all the others. TOCYNNAU Os hoffech wylio rhywbeth yn yr ŵyl, rhaid prynu tocyn i bob sioe yr hoffech ei gweld. Gan fod nifer y seddi’n wahanol mewn gwahanol leoliadau, nid oes ‘band garddwn yr ŵyl’ neu ‘docyn penwythnos’ - byddwch yn dewis yn union yr hyn rydych am ei weld ac yn prynu tocynnau yn unol â hynny.
Yn sicr bydd rhai ar gael, ond bydd sioeau hefyd a fydd wedi gwerthu pob tocyn ymlaen llaw. Os oes sioeau penodol yr hoffech eu gwled, cynghorir archebu ymlaen llaw. Caiff unrhyw sioeau sydd wedi gwerthu pob tocyn eu nodi ar y wefan.
There will definitely be some available but there will also be shows that have sold out beforehand. If there are specific shows you are heading to see, it is advisable to book in advance. Any sold out shows will be listed as such on the website.
Mae tocynnau ar gael ymlaen llaw ar y wefan (abercomedyfest.co.uk) a thrwy ein ap (diolch i’n ffrindiau hynod dalentog yn Devfusion.net). Ar y penwythnos, mae’r holl docynnau sy’n weddill ar gael o swyddfa docynnau’r ŵyl yn y Stondin Band ar lan môr Aberystwyth. Yno gallwch fynnu rhaglen, gweld pa sioeau sy’n dal i fod ar gael, a phrynu tocynnau newydd!
BLE ALLA’I BRYNU TOCYNNAU?
Tickets are available in advance from our website (abercomedyfest.co.uk) and via our app (courtesy of our super-talented friends at Devfusion. net). On the weekend, all remaining tickets are available from our Festival Box Office at The Bandstand on Aberystwyth seafront. There you’ll be able to grab a programme, see what shows are still available and purchase new tickets!
A OES STONDINAU BWYD?
BETH OS OES GENNYF FWY O GWESTIYNAU?
Most of the venues are concentrated within a 10 minute walk of each other on the seafront. There are also shows within the Aberystwyth Arts Centre complex so make sure you plan ahead to factor in travel time if required. Once you have your tickets in hand, all you need to do is turn up at the venue 15 minutes before the start of the show.
Because we’re based in the town of Aberystwyth, the festival ‘site’ is free to roam. You just purchase tickets to the individual events that you’d like to see. Whether that’s just one show, or as many as you can fit in across the three days, you just pay for what you go to watch. WHERE CAN I BUY TICKETS?

Cerys Bradley’s Sportsperson (Saturday 2.30pm, Arad Goch Gallery) Everyone is welcome to attend a relaxed performance. At a relaxed performance, our aim is to create an informal atmosphere with a few small adaptations in the venue. Usual theatre ‘rules’ are relaxed, bright lights and loud sound effects may be toned down or removed. Lights will remain on low in the auditorium so that you can come and go during the performance as you need, using foyer space outside the venue to take a break if you like. I sicrhau eich bod yn cael eich gosod yn y lle gorau i weld yr is-deitlau, gwnewch gais am ‘sedd is-deitlo’ wrth archebu lle a siaradwch gydag aelod o staff y lleoliad wrth i chi gyrraedd.

PERFFORMIAD YMLACIEDIG: Cerys Bradley’s Sportsperson (Dydd Sadwrn, 2.30pm, Oriel Arad Goch) Mae croeso i bawb fynychu Perfformiad Ymlaciedig. Mewn perfformiad ymlaciedig, ein nod yw creu awyrgylch anffurfiol gyda rhai addasiadau bach yn y lleoliad. Caiff ‘rheolau’ arferol theatr eu hymlacio, gall goleuadau llachar a synau uchel gael eu troi i lawr neu eu tynnu allan. Bydd goleuadau’r awditoriwm yn aros ymlaen yn isel er mwyn i chi allu mynd a dod yn ystod y perfformiad yn ôl yr angen, gan ddefnyddio gofod y cyntedd y tu allan i’r lleoliad i gael egwyl os hoffwch chi.
The hands-on support and expertise offered to us by Aberystwyth Arts Centre are invaluable. The ability to see the potential for the growth of this event, and the can-do attitude to the event is absolutely key to the growth and success going forward. We look forward to continuing to build on our successes together. CANOLFAN ABERYSTWYTHGELFYDDYDAU Mae’r gefnogaeth a’r arbenigedd ymarferol a gynigir i ni gan Ganolfan Gelfyddydau Aberystwyth yn amhrisiadwy. Mae’r gallu i weld y potensial ar gyfer twf y digwyddiad hwn, a’r agwedd gadarnhaol tuag at y digwyddiad yn gwbl allweddol i dwf a llwyddiant wrth symud ymlaen. Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at barhau i adeiladu ar ein llwyddiannau gyda’n gilydd.

CASTLE THEATRE
Built 1974, this one screen independent 400 seater cinema is a family-run business and Aberystwyth institution. Home to the festival showcases, it also has a cracking in-house bar and worth the price of a pint to admire the till alone!From the seafront, turn onto Terrace Road (by Baravin on the corner) and then first left onto Bath Street. The Commodore is the huge cinema-looking building with an enormous blue sign that says “Commodore Cinema”. Adeiladwyd y sinema annibynnol 400 sedd hwn yn 1974, ac mae’n fusnes teuluol sy’n sefydliad yn Aberystwyth. Yn gartref i arddangosfeydd yr ŵyl, mae ganddo hefyd far mewnol penigamp ac mae’n werth pris peint i edmygu’r til yn unig! O lan y môr, trowch i Ffordd y Môr (ger Baravin ar y gornel) ac wedyn i’r chwith i Stryd y Baddon. Y Commodore yw’r adeilad enfawr sy’n edrych fel sinema gydag arwydd mawr glas yn dweud “Commodore Cinema”.

Fe’i ddefnyddiwyd gan gannoedd o berfformwyr dros y blynyddoedd (gan gynnwys rhai sesiynau jam Led Zeppelin yn gynnar yn y 1970au), adeiladwyd un newydd sbon yn 2016 yn lle’r hen un, gan ychwanegu llwybr cerdded allanol o’i gwmpas.

THE BANDSTAND Aberystwyth’s Edwardian bandstand was first constructed in 1935 and was originally built roofless but then adapted and improved to protect the musicians and audience from the weather. Used by hundreds of performers over the years (including some impromptu Led Zeppelin jam sessions in the early 1970s), a completely new building replaced the old one in 2016 with an external walkway added around it. This year (for the first time) the Bandstand will be home to our official box office! Here you can pick up a programme, check up to date ticket availability, speak to out festival team and, of course, buy tickets for shows! Not only this, but in keeping with its longstanding association with live performances, the Bandstand is also home to our free festival programme of live music and street theatre across the weekend. Full listings will be available at the venue during the festival. Make sure you stop by and check them out!

Juliette’s brain was broken and, in attempting to fix it, she’s learned a lot. She’ll share it with you in this manual for the mind. But how do you get better for good? Is it mind over matter? And is recovery really a no brainer?
Little Wander in association PBJ Management presents…. Kiri Pritchard-McLean (Have I Got News For You?, Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You?) is back with a brand new tour. It’s been a big few years for most of us and Kiri is no different. She’s moved back to her home island of Anglesey, struggled with lockdown and got herself some rescue chickens. You can expect jokes about skinny jeans, learning Welsh and white supremacy –something for everyone.
As seen & heard on BBC One, ITV, Radio 4 & Radio 5 Live. Juliette has performed five solo shows, When I Grow Up, Look At Me, Decision Time, Butterfly Effect and Defined, at the Edinburgh Fringe, selling out multiple runs. She has won the Argus Angel Award (Brighton Fringe), Spirit Of The Fringe Award (Bedfringe) and Voice Mag’s Pick Of The Fringe Award (Edinburgh Fringe). She has also performed at Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and New Zealand International Comedy Festival. Juliette is an ambassador for Rethink Mental Illness. She also supports Mind and B-eat. Mae gennym ni i gyd ymennydd, er bod rhai yn gweithio’n well nag eraill. Roedd ymennydd Juliette wedi torri ac, wrth geisio ei drwsio, mae hi wedi dysgu llawer.

Richard Osman’s House of Games star, Stephen Bailey is a comedian raised on a Manchester council estate so he’s not done too bad even if he still dips steak McCoys in mayo. Recently he was told that he is not sophisticated - and he was wearing bronzer. Tired of being the “GBF” (Gay Best Friend), Stephen’s mission is to simply be Stephen and show off all of his layers. This preview unpacks his life as a femme, working-class man in a predominately straight, middle-class man’s world onstage. Stephen can also be seen in TV credits include Celebs on The Farm (C5), Roast Battle (Comedy Central) and Celebrity Coach Trip (E4). “A superstar in the making” British Comedy Guide.
