Buzz flies media flag for South Wales comedy

Out now ... a splendid new edition of South Wales ents and leisure mag Buzz. Catch it electronically by clicking here.
Comedian Paul Merton appears on the cover. That's convenient as the Media Master will be taking in his forthcoming improv show at the Grand Theatre, Swansea. Shame it clashes with the Taliesin showing of Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll ... but you can't have it all ways.
Illustrating how live comedy is doing remarkably good business at the moment, there are also features on the likes of Reginald D Hunter, Katy Brand, Rhod Gilbert and the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
In other fields, there's a healthy preview for the annual Mumbles Mostly Blues and Jazz Festival, an exceptionally tempting ad inviting us all to see modmeisters The Lambrettas in The Rhondda and - thanks to an Andy Pearson Publicity press release - a pleasing mention of The Storys' final gig in Swansea this summer.
Buzz is a beacon of quality in the South Wales ents market. Keep up the good work, all concerned!

Rhod Gilbert defies time in Swansea

Comedian Rhod Gilbert makes it into the just-out February edition of Swansea Life magazine. Favourite holiday destination? "Mumbles - magical!" Well said, Rhod.

Speaking of which, the funnyman's on BBC TV Wales tonight (http://bit.ly/a65MdN), having been filmed at two Swansea businesses.

As part of his new-job-for-Rhod series, a film crew observed him in the Kingsway premises shared by hairdressing enterprise Andrew Price (http://www.andrewpricegroup.com/) and cosmetic clinic/medical spa Defy Time (http://www.defy-time.co.uk/).

Dishing out finely crafted bobs and revitalising body wraps, you would imagine, didn't come naturally to our man from the west.

Incidentally, a little birdie - well, Mark Ronconi, of Business Web Marketing (http://www.b-w-m.co.uk/) - tells me that star of the show could well be Defy Time's artistically inclined Katie Schaverien.

I can't wait to see the programme - today (Tues), 10.35pm, BBC1.
