About Gareth Gwynn
Gareth Gwynn: Cyril is Gareth Gwynn's solo stand-up debut. Cyril Gwynn, known as The Bard Of Gower, was a tall, sunburnt, unsmiling farmer. Gareth is none of these things. He did not spend the First World War in the Navy, has never been shipwrecked, run a farm or emigrated to Australia — but he has found a book of Cyril's poems and is determined to find something they have in common. The show runs for 60 minutes at the Snug, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and carries no content warnings. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A debut solo show built around the gap between two very different men who happen to share a surname — the comedic distance between Gareth and Cyril is the whole engine of the piece. Warm, self-deprecating and shaped by a real discovery.
