WAHOO!
HWRE!
Here we go again you lovely lot. Welcome to
Machynlleth, and all the joys the May Day Bank Holiday
weekend brings. It’s our 6th outing together and our
special little festival continues to grow as we cram even
more entertainment into the historic rooms of this
gorgeous Welsh market town.
Dyma ni nôl eto, griw hyfryd. Croeso i Fachynlleth, a
holl ddifyrrwch penwythnos Gŵyl Banc Calan Mai.
Dyma'n chweched ymweliad, ac mae ein gŵyl fach
arbennig yn dal i dyfu wrth i ni stwffio mwy o adloniant
nag erioed i mewn i ystafelloedd hanesyddol y dref
farchnad Gymreig brydferth hon.
We’ve got more comics, a larger theatre programme, more
children and family entertainment, and a vast free music and
cabaret line-up this year. Our Beech Bar Ale Festival comes of
age as we hit the half century and serve up over 50 different
types of beer from across Wales. Over at the Owain Glyndŵr
Centre there’s a new focus on cider and cocktails so you’ll never
be short of your favourite tipple.
Mae gennym fwy o ddigrifwyr, rhaglen theatr fwy, mwy
o adloniant i blant a theuluoedd, a darpariaeth enfawr o
gerddoriaeth a cabaret eleni. Mae'n garreg filltir bwysig i Ŵyl
Gwrw Beech Bar wrth i ni gyflwyno 50 o wahanol fathau o
gwrw o bob rhan o Gymru. Yng Nghanolfan Owain Glyndŵr,
mae ffocws newydd ar seidr a choctels, felly bydd eich hoff
ddiod ar gael i chi bob amser.
We think you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer audience at
any festival in the UK, so we’d like to take this opportunity to
say a big thank you for being perfect visitors to the town of
Machynlleth, and being a huge part of the atmosphere that
makes the event what it is.
Byddai'n anodd dod o hyd i gynulleidfa neisach mewn unrhyw
ŵyl yn y DU, felly hoffem gymryd y cyfle hwn i ddiolch o galon
i chi am fod yn ymwelwyr perffaith â thref Machynlleth, ac
am fod yn rhan mor bwysig o'r awyrgylch sy'n gwneud y
digwyddiad yn un unigryw.
We hope you have a wonderful time at what is set to be our
best festival yet. And be sure to say a big thank-you to anyone
you see wearing a crew t-shirt, as without them this event
wouldn’t be possible.
Gobeithiwn y cewch amser hyfryd yn yr ŵyl eleni, sy'n edrych
fel yr orau eto. A chofiwch ddiolch yn fawr i unrhyw un a
welwch yn gwisgo crys-T y criw, am y byddai'r digwyddiad hwn
yn amhosib hebddynt.

SHOW TICKETS
TOCYNNAU I SIOEAU
This year, physical tickets will be issued for EVERY show to
help speed up entry at venues.
Eleni, caiff tocynnau corfforol eu cyhoeddi ar gyfer POB
sioe i gyflymu mynediad i leoliadau.
If you buy tickets in advance, you can either have them
posted out to you shortly before the festival (a small
postage charge applies) or collect them in person from the
festival Box Office (in the Senedd at the Owain Glyndwr
Centre) on the weekend itself.
Os byddwch yn prynu tocynnau ymlaen llaw, gallwch naill
ai eu cael wedi'u postio atoch yn fuan cyn yr ŵyl (bydd
tâl postio bychan) neu eu casglu'n bersonol o swyddfa
docynnau'r ŵyl (yn y Senedd yng Nghanolfan Owain
Glyndŵr) ar y penwythnos ei hun.
Please note: if you have bought tickets for a show
in advance, you need to make sure you have had
them posted or collected from the Box Office. If you
don’t have the right ticket when you arrive at the
venue, we won’t be able to admit you.
Nodwch: os ydych wedi prynu tocynnau am sioe
ymlaen llaw, rhaid i chi sicrhau eu bod wedi cael
eu postio neu eich bod wedi'u casglu o'r swyddfa
docynnau. Os nad yw'r tocyn cywir gennych pan
fyddwch yn cyrraedd yn y lleoliad, ni fyddwn yn
gallu eich gadael i mewn.
Any remaining tickets for shows during the festival

"This little stunner of a Festival
in the Powys market town of
Machynlleth boasts an almost
indecently good line-up over
three days."
The Independent
"The deliciously programmed
bash in the Powys market town
of Machynlleth is fast becoming
the most enticing event on the
comedy calendar."
i Newspaper
“An intimate comedy Festival
packed with experimental, creative
and warmly adventurous standup which strikes at the heart of
what comedy is all about: fun and
entertainment.”
Buzz Magazine
"The aim is to be funny and have
fun, and that's it. And you just feel
like a kid again"
Isy Suttie on BBC Radio 4Extra
"Probably the happiest weekend of
the year"
Elis James on BBC Radio 4Extra
" A welcome break from the norm...
it boasts the kind of top-quality lineup
"It's one of the best festivals
that's beyond many of its rivals."
in the World"
The Guardian
Rhod Gilbert in Buzz Magazine
"If Edinburgh is now a pressure
cooker, Machynlleth is the sun
coming out"
Arthur Smith in The Stage
Hi! It’s my first time at the Festival. I’ve heard it’s
great.
Heia! Dyma fy nhro cyntaf yn yr ŵyl. Rwy wedi
clywed ei bod yn wych.
So what do I need to do? Do I need a ticket to
enter the Festival?
Beth sydd angen i mi wneud? Oes angen tocyn
arna’i i ddod i’r ŵyl?
Will I be able to buy tickets on the Festival
weekend?
Fydda i’n gallu prynu tocynnau ar
benwythnos yr ŵyl?
Is it just stand-up comedy?
Ai comedi llwyfan yw’r cwbl?
What do I do when I get there? Will it be
obvious?
Beth ddylwn i wneud pan fyddaf yn cyrraedd? A
fydd hyn yn amlwg?
I bought tickets on-line, where do I collect them?
Prynais docynnau ar lein - ble ddylwn i eu casglu?
Where can I stay? I’m having trouble finding
accommodation in town.
Ble allaf aros? Rwy’n ei chael yn anodd cael llety yn
y dref.
It is! You’re in for a real treat.
No. Because we’re based in the town of Machynlleth, the Festival site
is free to roam. You then purchase tickets to the individual events that
you’d like to see. Whether that’s just one show, or as much as you can
cram in, you just pay for what you see.
For shows that have tickets left you will! If there are specific shows
you are heading to see, it is advisable to book in advance (via our
website) as many sell out in advance.
Nosiree. The Festival has always been about comedy in the widest
possible sense, as we like to showcase what comedy can be, whether
this is theatre, sketch, poetry, experimental stand-up, whatever. As
the Festival has got bigger it’s allowed us to develop this further with
dedicated theatre, and children’s programmes which grow every year.
One of the great things about Machynlleth is its size. The railway
station brings you into the edge of town and from then on everything
is walkable. We’ve worked out that all the venues fit within a 500
metre square footprint, so you’re never more than a ten minute stroll
from where you want to get to. Once you’ve located the Clock Tower,
use that as your compass and think of the town as a capital T.
The box office is located in the Senedd which is part of the Owain
Glyndwr Centre, somewhere you’ll become very familiar with. Go
there first to pick up all your tickets, get a programme and talk to our
super-friendly staff about getting your bearings.
The town’s hotels and B&Bs can fill up pretty quickly, which is why we
set-up camping facilities to the rear of the Bowling Club, and close to
all the venues. Equipped with hot showers and fancy toilet blocks it
can be your home from home for the weekend, and if you’re looking
for more comfort you can rent a yurt in advance and it’ll be waiting
for you when you arrive. Another option is to take the train towards
the coast, with late trains to Aberystwyth and Borth you can be by
the seaside, and ride in each day.
What about eating and drinking whilst I’m there?
Because we’re based in a thriving market town there are plenty of
charming cafes and warm pubs for you to refuel in, as well as our
favourite food stalls based on the lawns of Y Plas and Owain Glyndwr
Centre. Our Festival bars run until late to keep you entertained.
Sounds great! I’ll see you on the weekend.
Ydy! Mae gwledd o’ch blaenau.
Nag oes. Gan ein bod yn nhref Machynlleth, mae safle'r ŵyl yn agored
i grwydro. Byddwch yn prynu tocynnau i’r digwyddiadau penodol yr
hoffech eu gweld. P’un a yw’n un sioe, neu gynifer â phosib, byddwch
ond yn talu am beth fyddwch yn ei weld.
Byddwch – ar gyfer sioeau sydd â thocynnau’n weddill! Os oes sioeau
penodol yr hoffech eu gweld, cynghorir archebu ymlaen llaw (ar ein
gwefan) gan fod llawer o sioeau'n gwerthu pob tocyn cyn hynny.
Ddim o gwbl. Mae’r ŵyl wastad wedi croesawu comedi yn yr ystyr
ehangaf posib, gan ein bod yn hoffi arddangos beth gall comedi fod,
boed yn theatr, sgets, barddoniaeth, comedi llwyfan arbrofol, unrhyw
beth. Wrth i’r ŵyl dyfu, mae wedi caniatáu i ni ddatblygu hyn ymhellach
gyda theatr bwrpasol, a rhaglenni plant sy'n tyfu bob blwyddyn.
Un o'r pethau gwych am Fachynlleth yw ei maint. Mae'r orsaf drenau
ar ffin y dref, ac mae popeth bellter cerdded ohoni. Rydyn ni wedi
cyfrifo bod y lleoliadau i gyd o fewn 500 metr sgwâr, felly fyddwch
chi byth yn bellach na deng munud o ble rydych am fod. Ar ôl i chi
ddod o hyd i Dŵr y Cloc, defnyddiwch e fel cwmpawd, gan feddwl am
y dref fel T fawr.
Mae'r swyddfa docynnau yn y Senedd, sy'n rhan o Ganolfan Owain
Glyndŵr – rhywle y dewch yn gyfarwydd iawn ag ef. Ewch yno gyntaf
i gasglu’ch tocynnau, i gael rhaglen, ac i siarad a'n staff cyfeillgar
iawn am ffeindio’ch ffordd.
Gall gwestai a llety gwely a brecwast y dref lenwi'n gyflym, felly
rydym wedi sefydlu cyfleusterau gwersylla tu ôl i’r Clwb Bowlio,
yn agos at y lleoliadau i gyd. Mae’n cynnwys cawodydd poeth a
blociau toiled ffansi, felly gall fod yn gartref oddi cartref i chi dros y
penwythnos, ac os hoffech rywbeth mwy cyfforddus, gallwch rentu
pabell grwyn ymlaen llaw a bydd hi'n barod amdanoch pan fyddwch
yn cyrraedd. Opsiwn arall yw mynd ar y trên tuag at yr arfordir. Gyda
threnau hwyr i Aberystwyth a Borth, gallwch fod ar lan y môr, a
theithio atom bob dydd.
Beth am fwyd a diod pan fyddaf yno?
Gan ein bod mewn tref farchnad ffyniannus, mae digon o gaffis
hyfryd a thafarnau cynnes i’ch bwydo, yn ogystal â’n hoff stondinau
bwyd ar lawntiau’r Plas a Chanolfan Owain Glyndŵr. Mae bariau'r ŵyl
ar agor tan yn hwyr er mwyn eich diddanu.
Mae'n swnio'n grêt! Wela’i chi ar y penwythnos.

YNGLN Â GWYL
COMEDI MACHYNLLETH
We’ve come a huge distance in 6
years and, with over 5000 people
expected at the event this year,
we’re officially 10 times as large as
when we all took that first leap of
faith back in 2010. It would have
been impossible for the Festival
to grow and develop without
key support from funders and
sponsors, and their continued
backing of the event allows us to
keep doing what we do best.

the UK comedy calendar.

SHOW SPONSORS NODDWYR SIOEAU
Rydym wedi dod ffordd bell iawn
mewn 6 mlynedd, a gan ein bod

swyddogol 10 gwaith mor fawr â
phan gymeron ni ein cam gwallgof
cyntaf yn ôl yn 2010. Byddai wedi
bod yn amhosibl i'r ŵyl dyfu a
datblygu heb gymorth allweddol

digwyddiad yn ein galluogi i
barhau i wneud beth rydym yn ei
wneud orau.

mewn: nodi a chaffael tir gyda photensial
datblygu; darparu atebion arloesol i gyfyngiadau
technegol wrth gael caniatâd cynllunio ar
gyfer datblygiadau; ac, yn bwysig, adeiladau
cartrefi sy'n ychwanegu gwerth gwirioneddol
i'r gymuned o amgylch. Mae Tesni'n cyfuno
ethos cynaliadwyedd gydag harbenigedd mewn

gyntaf. Diolch i'r holl staff a'r criw am eich
sgiliau a'ch egni amhrisiadwy ... a’ch pebyll.
Bragdy'r Waen: Mae wedi bod yn bleser
gweithio gyda Bragdy'r Waen ers y flwyddyn
gyntaf, a gwylio wrth i'r ddau dyfu. Mae'r
berthynas wedi'i hadeiladu ar werthoedd a rennir
a hiwmor da, ac mae'n golygu y byddwn yn
rhannu diod ar ôl gŵyl am flynyddoedd i ddod.

(including a dedicated cocktail menu), festival
box office and helpdesk in the Senedd building,
food stalls, seating and the usual great vibes.

with a blanket next to one of our fire pits in the
evenings.

This Work in Progress monologue explores
female heterosexual desire in all its dark,
uncomfortable and tender complexity. It
is to be read out loud by a different male
performer at every show who has never seen
the script before walking on stage. Written
by a female writer/performer who chose
to remain anonymous because she doesn’t
want to talk about sex with everyone who
sees the show, she decided to write about
why and how some women find men sexy
because it was about time that someone
did. Manwatching will be read out loud at
Machynlleth Comedy Festival by Tim Key.
Mae'r monolog gwaith-ar-y-gweill hwn
yn edrych ar yr awydd heterorywiol
benywaidd yn ei holl gymhlethdod tywyll,
anghyfforddus a thyner. Adroddir hi gan
berfformiwr gwrywaidd gwahanol ym
mhob sioe, sydd erioed wedi gweld y sgript
cyn cerdded ar y llwyfan. Ysgrifennwyd gan
awdur/perfformiwr benywaidd a ddewisodd
aros yn ddienw oherwydd nad yw hi'n
dymuno siarad am ryw gyda phawb sy'n
gweld y sioe. Penderfynodd ysgrifennu am
baham a sut mae rhai merched yn ystyried
dynion yn rhywiol, achos roedd hi'n hen bryd
i rywun wneud. Adroddir Manwatching yng
Ngŵyl Gomedi Machynlleth gan Tim Key.
A one-man comedy whodunit about a hate-crime
committed against David Schwimmer. Live music.
An alphabet of characters. All a bit sideways.
Stori dditectif gomedi un dyn am droseddau
casineb a gyflawnir yn erbyn David Schwimmer.
Cerddoriaeth fyw. Gwyddor o gymeriadau. Yr holl
beth ychydig yn chwithig.
Yn dilyn sioe gyntaf a werthodd bob tocyn yng
Nghaeredin, mae Mark Smith (Nick Helm’s Heavy
Entertainment, Russell Howard’s Good News)
yn dychwelyd gyda sioe newydd sbon. Bydd yn
trafod tatŵs, foamburst a ffyrdd y gall wella fel
person a pheidio â theimlo fel ei fod yn sefyll
yn llonydd wrth i fywyd ruthro heibio iddo ar
gyflymder brawychus. Ond peidiwch â mynd i
banig - bydd rhai jôcs pidlen hefyd.

and eloquence”  The Telegraph
Part-time comedian Jack Barry gears up for his debut
hour, an introduction to the inner workings of his
confused brain. It’s mainstream, observational stand
up, written by a man too strange to have observed
anything relatable.
Madass character comic Beth Vyse (part of the
Weirdos Comedy collective) brings her latest
solo show, ‘Get Up with Hands!’, to Machynlleth
following an acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run.
Vyse plays Olive Hands, the presenter of ITV9’s
daytime talk show. But that’s about the extent
of the storyline – from there it’s a trip into Vyse’s
insane, chaotic and stupidly funny mind. She’s a
superb comic actress. Allow yourself to be swept
up in her weirdness and you’ll have a blast. Time

This is probably your last chance to see him
before he gets really really big. So see him

days, before he sold out, got shit and went all

be a shambolic collection of ramblings that
will one day turn into something special).

weld cyn iddo dyfu'n enfawr. Felly dewch
i'w weld nawr er mwyn gallu ymffrostio i'ch
ffrindiau mewn blynyddoedd i ddod am ei

In 2002 John Osborne won a box of John Peel's
records in a competition on the DJ's Radio One
show. This is the story of what he chose to do
with them and how the records helped shape
his life. The show was a complete sell out at the
2011 Edinburgh fringe and this is a rare chance
to see him dust off the records and perform the
show again.
Yn 2002 enillodd John Osborne focs o recordiau
John Peel mewn cystadleuaeth ar sioe'r DJ
ar Radio One. Dyma hanes beth dewisodd
wneud â nhw a sut newidiodd y cofnodion ei
fywyd. Gwerthodd y sioe bob tocyn yng Ngŵyl
Caeredin 2011, a dyma gyfle prin i'w weld
yn tynnu'r recordiau o'r silff a pherfformio'r
sioe eto.

Matthew Crosby (one of Pappy's, co-star/
co-writer of BBC3's Badults) returns to
MachFest with another lovely little show.
Come along, have a chuckle or two, leave,
never really think about it again. Matthew has
appeared on 8 out of 10 Cats; Never Mind the
Buzzcocks; Celebrity 15-1; and 8 out of 10 Cats
Does Countdown. And let's not forget that he
appeared as a news-reading dog on BBC 1’s
Animal Antics. He's married, mildly asthmatic
and a very youthful-looking 35 years old.
He also recently read an online article about
Machynlleth Comedy Festival 44
looking "cool and confident" in photographs.
Mae Matthew Crosby (un o Pappy's, yn cydseren/cyd-awdur Badults BBC3) yn dychwelyd
i Ŵyl Mach gyda sioe fach hyfryd arall. Dewch
i weld, i chwerthin, i adael, ac wedyn i beidio
â meddwl am y peth eto. Mae Matthew wedi
ymddangos ar 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Never Mind
the Buzzcocks, Celebrity 15-1, ac 8 Out Of 10
Cats Does Countdown. A gadewch i ni beidio
ag anghofio ei fod yn ymddangos fel ci yn
darllen y newyddion ar Animal Antics BBC 1.
Mae'n briod, yn dioddef ychydig o asthma, ac
yn 35 oed (ond yn edrych yn ifanc iawn). Hefyd,
yn ddiweddar, darllenodd erthygl ar-lein yn
ymwneud ag edrych yn "cŵl ac yn hyderus"
mewn ffotograffau.
Come to see Elis try the jokes he's most excited
about, at the comedy festival he likes playing
the most. This is an hour of new stuff, so expect
a notebook.

SLAMDOWN
Pappy’s Flatshare Slamdown is the hilarious
and anarchic panel game hosted by award
winning sketch team Pappy’s and featuring
great comedian guests. Set in Pappy’s flat - with
landlord Matthew in charge - each show sees
unruly tenants Ben and Tom battle to avoid
doing an annoying household chore. To help
them in this exciting high stakes contest they
force their houseguests (who have previously
included Adam Buxton, Bridget Christie, Romesh
Ranganathan, Sara Pascoe and Elis James) to
take sides and help them fight it out over a
number of stupid games.
Pappy’s Flatshare Slamdown yw'r gêm banel
ddoniol ac anarchaidd a gyflwynir gan y tîm
sgets arobryn Pappy's, gyda digrifwyr gwych yn
westeion. Wedi'i leoli yn fflat Pappy's - gyda'r
landlord Matthew yn gyfrifol - mae pob sioe yn
gweld y tenantiaid afreolus Ben a Tom yn brwydro
i osgoi gwneud tasg gartref ddiflas. Er mwyn
eu helpu yn y gystadleuaeth gyffrous hon am
wobr enfawr, maent yn gorfodi eu gwesteion yn
y tŷ (sydd wedi cynnwys Adam Buxton, Bridget
Christie, Romesh Ranganathan, Sara Pascoe ac Elis
James yn y gorffennol) i ddewis ochr a'u helpu i
ymladd dros nifer o gemau gwirion.

Gerry Howell originally intended to perform
a play about a comedian struggling to write
a show. But things have changed. Gerry's life
imploded, his girlfriend has left him and he's
worried he's lost his sense of humour. James
Joyce once said "a man of genius makes no
mistakes. His errors are volitional, and are portals
of discovery".

GERRY HOWELL’S PORTAL
OF DISCOVERY
Now Gerry is making the potentially huge
mistake of bringing to Wales a show that bears
no relation to his blurb in the brochure. But this
is the brochure. Or is it online? I'm confused, and
so must you be. But don't worry, Gerry’s done
this show before. It didn't make a lot of sense the
first time but now it does. Sort of. Someone even
said Gerry was a bit of a genius. Come and find
out how loose a term that has become.
Roedd Gerry Howell yn wreiddiol wedi bwriadu
perfformio drama am ddigrifwr yn methu ag
ysgrifennu sioe. Ond mae pethau wedi newid.
Cwympodd bywyd Gerry, gadawyd ef gan ei
gariad, ac mae'n poeni ei fod wedi colli ei synnwyr
digrifwch. Dywedodd James Joyce unwaith, "A
man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are
volitional, and are portals of discovery".
Nawr mae Gerry yn gwneud y camgymeriad a
allai fod yn enfawr o ddod â sioe i Gymru nad
yw'n gysylltiedig o gwbl â'r broliant yn y llyfryn.
Ond hwn yw'r llyfryn. Neu a yw arlein? Rwy wedi
drysu, felly mae'n rhaid eich bod chi hefyd. Ond
peidiwch â phoeni, mae Gerry wedi gwneud y
sioe hon o'r blaen. Nid oedd yn gwneud llawer
o synnwyr y tro cyntaf, ond erbyn hyn mae'n
gwneud. I ryw raddau. Dywedodd rhywun bod
Gerry yn dipyn o athrylith hyd yn oed. Dewch i
weld faint mae'r term hwnnw wedi'i ddibrisio.

CARIAD & PAUL
MY NEIGHBOUR IS TAKING
HIS BINS OUT
An entirely spontaneous theatrical adventure,
improvised out of thin air, fueled by a single
word & filled with a fusion of surreal twists,
heart-wrenching tragedy & absurd comedy.
Oh hey, who’s this guy? What’s he up to? Keep
seeing him whenever I flick through the listings.
He looks sort of sad, but also sort of triumphant.
I wonder if he’s any good? Yeah, probably pretty
good. Just look at that jumper.
A TWO-PLAYER
IMPROVISED ADVENTURE
Annie McGrath and Jack Barry present an hour
of implied reluctance, pseudo-animosity,
self-deprecation, offbeat charm, and a few
theatrical scenes.
In Annie McGrath – every bit the cherubic churl
– Twins have a unique and curiously endearing
half. Never shy of dodging a predictable punchline, she is a fearless navigator of the off-beat.
Beside her, Jack Barry takes ‘gormlessness’
into new territory. Fuelled by flights of fancy,
constant deviation, and spontaneous drollery,
Barry is very much the natural humourist.
Together, they form one of the most unique,
curious, and exciting new double-acts around.
Bydd Annie McGrath a Jack Barry yn cyflwyno awr o
amharodrwydd ymhlyg, ffug-elyniaeth, gwyleidddra, anwyldeb rhyfedd, a rhai golygfeydd theatrig.
Yn Annie McGrath - costog angylaidd drwyddi
draw - mae gan Twins hanner unigryw ac annwyl.
Does dim ofn jôc amlwg arni, ac mae'n cyrchu'r
rhyfedd heb swildod. Wrth ei hymyl, mae Jack Barry
yn cymryd twpdra i dir newydd. Wedi'i fwydo gan
ddychymyg byw, gwrthdynnu cyson, a digrifwch
digymell, mae Barry yn ddigrifwr naturiol.
Gyda'i gilydd, maent yn un o'r actau dwbl newydd
mwyaf unigryw, diddorol a chyffrous sydd i'w cael.
Twins yw eu hymgais i greu sioe sgets, cymysgedd
dargyfeiriol o sgetshis, pryderon, a thrafodaethau
sy'n pryderu am y sgetshis hynny.
"The off-the-cuff, laidback and inclusive appeal

This is the story of where I came from and where
I'm going. Some of it's true, most of it's nonsense.
Come along if you like the idea of time travel,
character sketches, me wearing stupid stuff on my
head and uncomfortable displays of earnestness.
O hei, pwy yw'r boi 'ma? Beth mae'n ei wneud?
Rwy'n ei weld pryd bynnag y byddaf yn edrych
drwy'r rhestrau. Mae'n edrych yn drist, ond mae
hefyd fel pe bai'n fuddugoliaethus. Tybed os
ydyw'n dda o gwbl? Ydy, mae'n dda, mae'n siŵr.
Edrychwch ar ei siwmper.
Dydw i ddim yn siŵr beth fyddai'n galw'r sioe eto.
Rwy'n edrych drwy'r ffenest i gael syniadau. Mae
fy nghymydog yn mynd allan â'i finiau. Mae aderyn
yn hedfan heibio. Mae'r cymylau'n llwyd. Dim ots.
Byddai'n meddwl am rhywbeth yn y pen draw.
Dyma hanes o ble y deuthum ac i ble rwy'n
mynd. Mae peth ohono'n wir, mae'r rhan fwyaf
ohono'n nonsens. Dewch i weld os ydych yn
hoffi'r syniad o deithio drwy amser, sgetshis
cymeriad, fi'n gwisgo pethau gwirion ar fy mhen,
ac arddangosfeydd anghyfforddus o ddifrifoldeb.

PERFECT PUB
George Orwell wrote an essay on the perfect pub.
A fictitious pub called the Moon Under Water.
With the help of the audience, James (as seen on
Russell Howard's Good News and Ricky Gervais'
Extras) designs the perfect pub.
Ysgrifennodd George Orwell draethawd ar y dafarn
berffaith. Tafarn ffug o'r enw The Moon Under
Water. Gyda chymorth y gynulleidfa, bydd James
(fel y gwelir ar Russell Howard's Good News ac
Extras Ricky Gervais) yn dylunio'r dafarn berffaith.

JARRED CHRISTMAS
THE CHRISTMAS AND THE
HOBBIT
A stand-up comedy and beat box collaboration.
Hobbit is an award winning beat boxer, Jarred
Christmas is an award winning comic. When their
powers combine, they create a very fun and daft
show. Music from the mouth, jokes from the mouth,
a loop station, a tubby man dancing, theme tunes,
8 mile style beat box battles, games, prizes and shit
loads of laughter. Sounds like a Hoot. Do people
still say that? Of course they bloody do, a word like
“Hoot” would never go out of fashion.
"A fluid, dark sketch show that's usually a step
ahead of its audience" The Guardian
Fresh off the back of touring her last solo comedy
show to Edinburgh Fringe, Perth Fringe, Adelaide
Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival, stand-up
comic Sarah Bennetto presents her new show.
She's been writing it in transit, for over two
years. Come witness new characters, sketch and
loads of jokes. She'll also provide cake and a prize
for best and worst audience member.

Mae Daniel Glyn wedi bod yn perfformio
comedi llwyfan yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg ers
1992, ac eleni mae'n teimlo ei fod yn mynd i'w
gael yn iawn. Bydd yn rhannu ei brofiadau fel
mwngrel hanner Cymro, hanner Sais, a hefyd
yn trafod ei anturiaethau yn niwylliant a hanes
yr iaith Gymraeg, a sut mae magwraeth fel
Cymro Cymraeg yng Nghaerdydd wedi ei ddrysu
ymhellach. Mae'r sioe yn Saesneg, does dim

Musing of a sick girl. After winning absolutely
nothing for the past couple of years as a
character comic Vyse will try it without wigs and
fake boobies....or will she?
Daniel Glyn has been performing stand-up in
Welsh and English since 1992, and this year he
reckons he’s going to get it right. He will share
his experiences of being a half Welsh half English
mongrel, and also covers his adventures in Welsh
language culture and history, and how being
brought up a Welsh speaker in Cardiff has confused
him even further. The show is in English, no
knowledge of Welsh necessary. Or indeed English.

Mae Hobbit yn berfformiwr beatbox arobryn,

Pan fydd eu pwerau'n cyfuno, maent yn creu
sioe ddifyr a gwirion iawn. Cerddoriaeth o'r
geg, jôcs o'r geg, gorsaf gylchog, dyn tew'n
dawnsio, caneuon teledu, brwydrau beatbox
megis 8 Mile, gemau, gwobrau a llwyth o

This year has changed Suzi. Sick to death of
politicians and the media lying about everything,
she has become slowly and quietly political and
realised at 29 it’s important to have opinions and
views as long as they aren’t the same as your UKIP
voting family members and as a gay, liberal leftie
that’s pretty hard to grapple with. Don’t worry, it
won’t be all politics. There will also be a collection
of stories about my cat (who is definitely better
than your cat), being a complete arse when I am
drunk and disappointing my girlfriends parents.
Mae'r flwyddyn hon wedi newid Suzi. Wedi cael
hen ddigon ar wleidyddion a'r cyfryngau yn
dweud celwydd am bopeth, mae hi wedi tyfu'n
fwy gwleidyddol yn dawel, gan sylweddoli yn 29
oed ei fod yn bwysig bod â barn a safbwyntiau
ar yr amod nad ydynt yr un fath ag aelodau eich
teulu sy'n pleidleisio dros UKIP, ac fel un hoyw,
rhyddfrydol asgell chwith, mae hynny'n anodd
mynd i'r afael ag ef. Peidiwch â phoeni, ni fydd
yn wleidyddiaeth i gyd. Bydd casgliad o straeon

We absolutely love pulling

another fantastic line-up for
you, along with all the usual

Welsh Bedroom-Pop group Seazoo formed in
April 2013 and consisted of two humans and a
charity shop teddy bear. Think Gorky’s, SFA, Yo La
Tengo and Pavement. All underpinned with the
home-recording ethic of Granddaddy.
The single Panda Pains was released in January
2015 by Label Fandango and as had BBC 6Music
support from Radcliffe and Maconie, Steve
Lamacq and Marc Riley. The debut album will
land later in the year.
Seazoo now consist of five proper humans. The
teddy often stays at home, jaded by his short
experience in the industry. He wasn’t the best
anyway.
Ffurfiwyd Seazoo, grŵp pop ystafell wely o
Gymru, ym mis Ebrill 2013, gan gynnwys dau fod
dynol a thedi bêr o siop elusennol. Meddyliwch
Gorky's, SFA, Yo La Tengo a Pavement. Oll wedi'i

Cafodd y sengl Panda Pains ei ryddhau ym mis
Ionawr 2015 gan Label Fandango, a chafodd

ei ryddhau yn ddiweddarach yn y flwyddyn.

Hailing from Pity Me near Durham, Martha
released their debut album Courting Strong in 2014
via Fortuna POP! Providing energetic, impassioned
pop punk, Martha are informed by the likes of
The Beautiful South, Squeeze and Scandinavian
Anarcho-punk. Treading the line between history
and fiction, Martha offer neatly packed vignettes
of love and loss against backdrops of social struggle
and the end of the world.
In 2014 “Courting Strong” was included as one of
NPR's favourite albums of the year.
Influenced by Indian Ragas, African Kora music
and ancient Welsh harp music from the Robert
ap Huw manuscript he makes music to capture
the atmosphere of the special and underrepresented part of Wales where he lives, adding
to the long tradition of Welsh string music.
MOWBIRD
Mowbird are a slacker-pop quartet from Wrexham,
North Wales. Formed by Ben Sawin and Mike
Smith with the later additions of Suzanne
Dempsey and Ben Valentine Trow, they selfrecorded and self-released four EPs before signing
to Cardiff based Shape Records.
Debut album Islander was released in February
2014, preceded by single Happy Active Horse
Mae Toby yn gitarydd a chyfansoddwr o ger Rhaeadr
Gwy yng Nghanolbarth Cymru. Mae'n gwneud
cerddoriaeth offerynnol wedi'i hysbrydoli gan
dirwedd, pobl a hanes yr ardal. Yn dilyn yn ôl troed
gitaryddion Cyntefig Americanaidd fel John Fahey
a Robbie Basho, a diwygwyr gwerin Prydain fel
John Renbourne a Bert Jansch, mae'n cyfansoddi
cerddoriaeth ar gyfer y gitâr 6 a 12 llinyn.
Dylanwadwyd arno gan Indian Ragas,
cerddoriaeth Kora Affricanaidd a cherddoriaeth
delyn hynafol Gymreig o lawysgrif Robert ap Huw,
ac mae'n gwneud cerddoriaeth i gipio awyrgylch
y rhan arbennig hon o Gymru lle mae'n byw sydd
heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol, gan ychwanegu at y
traddodiad hir o gerddoriaeth llinyn Gymreig.
Yn 2014, cafodd "Courting Strong" ei gynnwys fel
un o hoff albymau NPR o'r flwyddyn.
“One of Britain's best rock bands” - NPR.org
Organ which garnered radio play by Huw Stephens
(Radio 1), Bethan Elfyn & Adam Walton (BBC Radio
Wales) as well as Tom Ravenscroft & Marc Riley
(6Music), the latter for whom the band recorded
a session and led to a collaboration with fellow
Welsh popster Sweet Baboo in 2015.
TOBY HAY
Toby is a guitarist and composer from near
Rhayader in Mid Wales. He makes instrumental
music inspired by the landscape, people and
history of the area. Following in the footsteps
of the American Primitive guitarists like John
Fahey and Robbie Basho, and the British Folk
revivalists like John Renbourne and Bert Jansch,
he composes music for the 6 and 12 string guitar.
Yn hanu o Pity Me ger Durham, rhyddhaodd
Martha eu halbwm cyntaf Courting Strong yn
2014 drwy Fortuna POP! Mae Martha'n darparu
pop pync egnïol, angerddol, dan ddylanwad
pobl fel The Beautiful South, Squeeze a phync
anarchaidd Llychlyn. Gan droedio'r llinell rhwng
hanes a ffuglen, mae Martha'n cynnig vignettes
taclus o gariad a cholled yn erbyn cefndir o frwydro
cymdeithasol a diwedd y byd.

Gwnaethant hunan-recordio a hunanryddhaupedwar EP cyn arwyddo i Shape Records

Rhyddhawyd eu halbwm cyntaf Islander ym

Bronx hip hop-inspired, New Orleans-tinged
brass band formed in the deepest, darkest (and
wettest) of North Wales slate quarries. The 8-piece
ensemble perform original material that can only
be described as a heady mix of modern dance
music, New Orleans Jazz, and Welsh pop music –
which is a welcome change from the typical ‘guitar
bands’ clogging up many a music scene. Taking
influences from USA’s best brass groups, such as
Hypnotic Brass and the Youngblood Brass Band
they can easily rock out a few classic pop tunes but
also have a growing catalogue of original material
that will get you moving!
gydag ychydig bach o New Orleans, a ffurfiwyd

8-darn yn perfformio deunydd gwreiddiol na
ellir ond ei ddisgrifio fel cymysgedd meddwol o
gerddoriaeth dawns fodern, jazz New Orleans,
a cherddoriaeth bop Gymreig - sydd yn newid

gorau'r UDA, fel Hypnotic Brass a'r Yongblood

Festival favourite Sweet Baboo (you can hear his
music on almost all of our videos) finally makes
his Machynlleth debut. Sweet Baboo is Stephen
Black, a native of the north Wales countryside
and a single-minded, idiosyncratic singer. He
possesses an ear for a sparkling melody, a restless
soul, and a gift for a deft lyrical turn – from
darkly funny to piercingly tender, twinklingly
boastful to deliciously self-deprecating.
H. Hawkline and band will perfrom songs
from the new album ‘In The Pink Of Condition’.
Hawkline has recently signed to the influential
‘Heavenly Recordings’ (Beth Orton, Doves, Edwyn
Collins etc). Hawkline himself is referring to this
new album as "strange pop", informed by Richard
Brautigan and Paul McCartney's Ram, with
Cate Le Bon handling production duties in Los
Angeles. H Hawkline is definitely one to watch.
With the follow up to his fourth album Ships being
released in May there’s no better time to catch him
live before he embarks on a full UK tour.
Bydd H. Hawkline a'r band yn perfformio
caneuon o'r albwm newydd, ‘In The Pink Of
Condition’. Yn ddiweddar, arwyddodd Hawkline
i'r 'Heavenly Records' dylanwadol (Beth Orton,
Doves, Edwyn Collins etc). Mae Hawkline ei hun
yn cyfeirio at yr albwm newydd fel "pop rhyfedd",
dan ddylanwad Ram Paul McCartney a Richard
Brautigan, gyda Cate Le Bon ar ddyletswydd
cynhyrchu yn Los Angeles. Mae H Hawkline yn
sicr yn un i'w wylio.
Ffefryn yr ŵyl Sweet Baboo (gallwch glywed
ei gerddoriaeth ar bron pob un o'n fideos) o'r
diwedd yn gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf ym
Machynlleth. Sweet Baboo yw Stephen Black,
brodor o gefn gwlad gogledd Cymru, a chanwr
unplyg, idiosyncratig. Mae ganddo glust am alaw
befriog, enaid aflonydd, a dawn am dro telynegol
medrus - o hiwmor dywyll i dynerwch taer, o
ymffrostio drygionus i ostyngeiddrwydd hyfryd.
Gyda'i albwm nesaf ar ôl y pedwerydd, Ships,
yn cael ei ryddhau ym mis Mai, does dim amser
gwell i'w weld yn fyw cyn iddo gychwyn ar daith
lawn yn y DU.

LET’S GO SWIMMING
& ROMANCE AND
ADVENTURE
In 2013 award-winning comedian Josie Long
and director Doug King made two short comedy
films in Glasgow called Let’s Go Swimming and
Romance and Adventure, which were nominated
for a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award.
Screening
/ Sgrinio
In Let’s Go Swimming, Josie has left her life in
London for a better one in Glasgow, the indie
band theme park where she will finally be happy
and accepted. But sitting in cafes and going to
gigs on your own isn’t as fulfilling as she’d hoped.
In Romance and Adventure, Darren is Josie’s best
friend. Josie is Darren’s flatmate. Approaching
30, Josie is desperate to travel, to escape, to do
something big. Darren is happy having his meals
THE BOY JOHN
Avast, me hearties! Join an audience of 20 in the
hull of The Boy John – a large rescued wooden
boat which rests permanently on the foreshore at
Smugglers Cove near Aberovey . Disclaimer: This
boat experience involves no sailing.
Croeso, ffrindiau! Ymunwch â chynulleidfa o 20
yn The Boy John - cwch pren fawr a achubwyd
sy'n gorwedd yn barhaol ar flaendraeth
Smugglers Cove ger Aberdyfi. Ymwadiad: Nid
yw'r profiad cwch hwn yn cynnwys hwylio.

Yn 2013, gwnaeth y digrifwr arobryn Josie Long
a'r cyfarwyddwr Doug King ddwy ffilm gomedi
fer yn Glasgow o'r enw Let's Go Swimming a
Romance and Adventure, a gafodd eu henwebu
am BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award.
Yn Let's Go Swimming, gadawodd Josie ei bywyd
yn Llundain i gael un gwell yn Glasgow, y parc
thema band indi lle bydd hi o'r diwedd yn hapus
ac yn cael ei derbyn. Ond nid yw eistedd mewn
caffis a mynd i gigs ar eich pen eich hun mor
foddhaol ag y gobeithiodd.
Yn Romance and Adventure, Darren yw ffrind
gorau Josie. Mae Josie yn rhannu fflat â Darren.
Yn nesáu at ei 30, mae Josie bron a marw eisiau
teithio, dianc, gwneud rhywbeth mawr. Mae
Darren yn hapus bod ei brydau'n cael eu coginio
gan rywun heblaw ei fam.

PAPER GIRL
A young girl is trying to find where her courage
is. She starts by looking for it about her person,
then around her back yard, no sign of it.
She creates a world for herself with her
imagination and goes on an adventure to find
it. She has to face her fears head on and through
this discovers where her courage really is.
Mae merch ifanc yn ceisio dod o hyd i'w dewrder.
Mae'n dechrau drwy edrych amdano ar ei
pherson, yna o gwmpas ei gardd gefn, dim
arwydd ohono.
Mae'n creu byd i'w hun gyda'i dychymyg ac yn
mynd ar antur i ddod o hyd iddo. Rhaid iddi
wynebu ei hofnau'n uniongyrchol, a thrwy hyn
mae'n darganfod lle mae ei dewrder mewn
gwirionedd.
