After far too long, live comedy is back at The Welf - and it’s returning with a bang!
Headlining the night is Sean Percival – a true powerhouse of British comedy. As sharp as he is down-to-earth, Sean’s delivery is dry as a pint of mild and his punchlines hit like a sledgehammer. This Black Country comic has stormed every major comedy club in the UK and beyond, spinning tales of working-class life, marriage, and modern madness with the bite of a man who’s seen it all. One critic called him “a working man’s revenge on the safe, middle-class, politically correct humour that has dominated comedy” - but really, he’s just bloody funny.
In support is Mike Reed – British Comedian of the Year semi-finalist (2021). A regular on the Welsh circuit, Mike’s performed everywhere from the Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Piccadilly Comedy Club to four brave souls in Ebbw Vale. Smart, sharp, and brilliantly unpredictable.
Holding it all together is your compere and Neath’s own Paul James – “The Mayor of Neath” himself. No-nonsense, full-throttle and lightning quick with the crowd, Paul guarantees the laughs keep coming all night long.
The Welf – great beer, great atmosphere, and comedy that’s properly back where it belongs.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Sean Percival
Dudley's very own 'Sultan of Smut'. A consistently popular act from a larger than life and earthy performer. 'Sean's humour is not surreal, it's not wacky, it's just bl**dy funny. This is not smile humour, this is bust your gut rubber underpants stuff' (What's On) '... the big gold star of the show must be the long-haired man from Dudley. He came. He spoke. He had us curled up begging for more...' (Evening Mail) '... comedian and scriptwriter Sean Percival. His brand of comedy steers clear of the surreal and confronts realism in an explosively funny way. His down to earth act is bang up to date with its upfront attitude, no long stories, just gags galore' (Funhouse Comedy).

Paul James
Welsh stand-up comic, once described as what would happen if Tim Vine hadn't found God. 'Revered as a comedic demi-god ... he has a gritty, down-to-earth accessibility that wins crowds over everywhere' (The Western Mail) 'Not only a consistent barrage of quality lines , but a stage presence that takes the audience wherever he wants to take them' (Cardiff Comedy Festival) 'Paul weaves the dark and dirty into comedy gold. A solid gagsmith who is getting bigger and bigger' (Laughing Mic Comedy).
