Winter Comedy Festival Saturday Early - Raymond and Mr Timpkins

Good set of support acts but a shame that the headline only performed for 24 minutes. Not entirely sure if Mr Moran was on form or not as his act is always based on the shambolic, slightly confused man ...

Show started 45 mins late. Main act only on for about 25 minutes. Support acts of variable quality. Would be interested to know if the main act was on for longer in his 2nd set. Venue would be good on a still summer’s night. In a gale in October, the whole structure was shaking noisily. Some of the circumstances were out of the venue’s control, but felt support acts were given their allotted time and main act wasn’t.

Little bit cold in the tent, but liked the intimacy of venue and all the comedians were great

Outdoor marquee, fairly cold and breezy. People also felt it was acceptable to smoke as it as 'outdoors' but it wasn't really and was frankly horrid sitting in a smokey environment.

I have been a long time fan of Dylan Moran and was very excited to see him in person He was great, his usual brilliant funny self. But my goodness he looked tired bless him. He looked like he could have done with 40 winks not to be up in a cold windy tent doing his set. I really appreciate the organising group bringing such great acts to Cardiff but really question the venues suitably. Fine in the summer but without appropriate heating and comfortable seating not sure I will be going back this winter If you do go, wrap up. Take a blanket and wear your socks 🧦
