Welsh comics heading for Norway





Heard the one about the two Welsh comedians trying to get an export licence to Norway?
Well, Norway is about to get the joke as two of our finest comedians get ready to perform at the Oslo Comedy Club next week.
Phil Evans and Ignacio Lopez have been invited to perform in Oslo after receiving an invitation from friends in Norway. They will be on stage at the Oslo Comedy Club on October 26 and 27.
"It's something of a step into the unknown, but we are looking forward to it," said Evans.
"I've performed internationally before, but never in Norway, so it will be interesting to see how we are received and how much the Norwegians appreciate our sense of humour."
Evans is the 'Hugmeister of Wales' and the man who has put the 'Cwtsh' back into comedy.
He is a favourite warm-up comedian for TV shows on BBC, S4C and ITV. He has just finished a very successful variety show tour of South Wales with the singer Paul Child.
Squeeze him for information on his favourite topic – the Welsh cwtsh (hug) – and he will explain why a cwtsh should always be spelt as ‘cwtsh’ and not ‘cwtch’.
Press him for further information about how his comedy career started and he will tell you how he left school with 10 GCSEs . . . before the headmaster told him to put them back!
Cheeky, but never crude or offensive, Evans produces a very Welsh brand of humour.

Ignacio Lopez is billed as 'Half Spanish, Half Welsh, All Funny.'
The 25-year-old lives in Swansea and was one of the contenders on the ITV show Show Me The Funny.
