Genuinely no idea why this is my first year at @machcomedyfest.bsky.social - incredible comedy, met some of the amazing people making us laugh and a general air of happiness and calm…

Fantastic WIP from Beattie Edmondson, not thrown by a dying TV screen or even some utter moron who forgot to put his phone on silent (speak to my lawyer, no further questions)… @machcomedyfest.bsky.social

The wonderful Josh Glanc absolutely not having a mid-life crisis at 40. I would say buy a ticket for his show Sunday but he’s sold out… @machcomedyfest.bsky.social

Thank you Machynlleth! Crowley Time: Link’s Gambit was a sold out smash- and the only time I’ve played an 8 foot lobster in my career. (So far.) 🦞 @machcomedyfest.bsky.social
