Gareth Gwynn: Cyril (WIP)

Dates:

Monday 23rd March 2026 - 7:00pm

Cyril Gwynn (1897-1988), also known as The Bard Of Gower, was “a tall, sunburnt, unsmiling farmer”. Gareth Gwynn (1983-Present) is none of these things.

Gareth did not spend the First World War in the Merchant Navy, nor has he ever been shipwrecked, run a farm or tried to emigrate to Australia – but he’s found a book of poems by his great-grandfather, and he’s determined to find something they have in common.

Gwynn (1983 ed.) has written for The News Quiz, The Now Show and Have I Got News For You. He is the co-writer of Ankle Tag (BBC Radio 4), Tourist Trap (BBC One Wales) and The Goodies: The Big Ben Theory (An Audible Special). He co-presents the multi-award nominated comedy history podcast “I’m So Not Over It” and hosted BBC Radio 4’s “Gareth Gwynn Hasn’t Fin-” (“Hilarious” – The Guardian).
