Machynlleth Comedy Festival is a weekend of comedy in Machynlleth, a small market town in Mid Wales, held every year over the early May bank holiday and run by Little Wander. Its rooms, all a short walk from each other, fill with stand-up hours from well-known comics and newer names, many of them works in progress, with theatre, music, shows in Welsh and family events around them.
