The satirical tour From Here to Absurdity visited Ysceifiog Village Hall on Saturday 27th September.

Written and performed by Richard Kelly (freelance contributor to Private Eye) and Ashley Hern (historian and broadcaster on Talk-Radio), From Here to Absurdity comprised of 90 minutes of original comedy sketches, performed in a style that recalls the hey-day of Peter Cook, Stephen Fry and Alas Smith and Jones. Kelly and Hern were joined on stage by Lucy Simons, a stand-up comedienne from Chester who has performed at numerous comedy clubs in the north-west.

The tour has already performed at numerous venues across the country and has headlined at both the Edinburgh Fringe and Chicago Sketch Festivals. But it is no stranger to these parts either – an earlier version of the show came to Ysceifiog in 2012, and it has since performed at the village halls of Cilcain, Llandegla and Llanasa.

Here’s some of the feedback we’ve received ….

What a fantastic evening that was! Thoroughly enjoyable and very, very funny!

It was fab tbf, would definitely see them again!

I haven’t laughed so much is a long time and the atmosphere of the night was vibrant.

We look forward to a future visit from From Here to Absurdity.
