Cardiff Book Festival took place over the weekend with a full programme packed neatly into three days at Jurys Inn. As you know, you should never read a book by it’s cover (couldn’t resist, sorry) and this book festival wasn’t just for book lovers.

Nominated for the 2018 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and coming from a sold-out West End run, this is a laugh-out-loud show not to miss. The show runs for the rest of this week (18 – 22 July).

It’s Monday morning. You have just awoken but can’t quite pull yourself out of bed. It’s week three of a nationwide heatwave and you are not feeling your best. Well. Neither is Brexit Secretary David Davis. This is not a drill. This is real life (honest). As you come around from what can only be described as a nightmare; you have to ask the question.. is there now going to be another General Election? Following Friday’s lock-in at Chequers, the Prime Minister Theresa May revealed her Government’s compromise Brexit plan; but not all agree that this is the right way…
