Highlights of 2013's Machynlleth Comedy Festival in Wales.

Further details

Described as a 'cavalcade of comedy', the acts that performed at the live show included Nish Kumar, Radio Wales regular Lloyd Langford, Sara Pascoe, up and coming Welsh talent Jordan Brookes, Ed Gamble (from Peacock & Gamble on BBC Radio 4 Extra) and sketch troupe Pappy's.

The show was presented by Mike Bubbins from Barry. Mike lives in a house called Graceland, has a daughter called Elli Presley, and spent two years entering every Elvis Presley Tribute Artist competition in the country. His show at the festival was about the nature of obsession, although he promised it won't just be about Elvis!

Mike, who has also performed at the Edinburgh, Leeds, Reading, V and Green Man Festivals, said: "I performed at the very first Machynlleth festival four years ago and I love it. It's all about the comedy there and there's a nice laid-back atmosphere for the audience and the performers."

This episode is BBC Radio 4 Extra's version of the highlights from this gig.
