PHIL Doyle, Wales’ favourite stand-up comedian, comes to Llandybie on Saturday, January 14, when he appears at a special charity show at Clwb Rygbi Llandybie. The event – organised by local fundraisers Peter and Gillian Brown – is in aid of Crossroads Sir Gar Caring for Carers, while a donation of the evening’s proceeds will go to the Welsh Guards In Afghanistan Appeal.
Peter is a former Welsh Guard, while Gillian works for Crossroads. Both hope the show will become a regular fixture in the calendar. “It’s a win, win situation,”said Peter. “If we can get people to come along, enjoy a nice show and get a few more donations then everyone wins all round.”Crossroads provides support for people of all ages and the people Gillian helps look after are at opposite ends of the age spectrum.
The show, which features music from Eric The Hat, a buffet and raffle kicks off at 7.30pm. A ball donated by Shane Williams and autographed by the original Ospreys squad will be auctioned towards the end of the evening. Tickets for the show and buffet, priced at £10, can be obtained by ringing 01269 850008 or 07786 946604. (Limited tickets available at clubhouse).
