8:30am Thursday 1st March 2012 in Leisure
ONE of the most exciting acts to emerge from the Edinburgh Festival in recent years, Elis James won critical praise and a legion of new fans with smash-hit sell out showDo You Remember the First Time?
The bilingualWelshman has taken his charm offensive on the road with a whirlwind tour of the UK, bringing his hilarious, freewheeling storytelling to Pontardawe Arts Centre on Friday, March 30.
Expertly-timed anecdotes will be sure to delight, the warmth and charm of which will have you grinning from ear to ear throughout.
Charting a series of ‘first times’, Elis weaves his audience through a chance encounter with a celebrity, an accident at a wedding and the good old-fashioned drunkenness of others, something more than a few of us can relate to. Having performed internationally, supported fellow Welsh export Rhod Gilbert on tour and established a long list of credits including; 8 Out 10 Cats (Channel 4), The Rob Brydon Show (BBC Two) and Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three), Elis James has cemented himself as one of comedy’s brightest young stars.
