Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

Revel in this day of international celebration (exclusive to Machynlleth) as His Holiness Ben Target – the maverick of physical comedy – sacrifices new ideas (some bright, several tepid, many inclement) to the Gods of Laughter (you, the forgiving audience). So, don your socks n’ sandals combo because in truth, this’ll end up being somewhere between a civil weekend in Faliraki and a wild one at Butlins. Sunburn free. Group hug included. 

2012: Edinburgh Comedy Award best newcomer nominee2011: Winner, Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year

‘Staggeringly inventive and sometimes unnerving, this highly physical performer is a true original and a legend in the making’ Guardian

‘impressively funny’ Scotsman

‘What a gem Target is… probably the most original, the most over-wrought and most audacious to be seen’ ***** BROADWAY BABY

This show will be an hour long.

This show is for over 14’s only and under 16’s will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Additional booking fees are not being charged by the festival this year, but are being incorporated into the overall advertised ticket price. Please see the website for further information.
