Pappy's World Record Attempt: 200 Sketches in an Hour

at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival

Fresh from Channel 4 and a critically acclaimed, sell out run at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, "the funniest sketch troupe on the Fringe" (The Scotsman) return to take the UK, and the record books, by storm.

In 2007 they were nominated for the If.comedy award. In 2008 they won Chortle Best Sketch Act, performed in Australia and had their own shows on Channel 4 and Radio4.

Join them for a full night of sketches and songs and a chance to see them attempt the impossible.

200 sketches. 60 minutes. 1 World Record. Heroic attempt, or spectacular folly? "Whether they succeed or not, they're hilarious."Guardian

"Best in their genre... 5 Stars" Mirror

"Sheer joy... 5 stars" Metro

"Blissfully funny comedy... 5 stars" The List

“Beneath the larking about there’s a painstakingly constructed hour of quick fire gags, recurring characters, and snappy songs. By the end of it, the crowd is as elated as the performers, and that’s saying something… 5 Stars” Independent on Sunday

Doors at 6:50pm for a 7pm start.

The Penny Dreadfuls

at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival

The troupe who brought you the critically-acclaimed Aeneas Faversham trilogy, The Never Man & Radio 4's Brothers' Faversham series and Guy Fawkes, present their much anticipated return to sketch comedy with a brand new show for 2010.
