Elis James, one of the most exciting acts to emerge from the Edinburgh Festival in recent years, will be at Swansea Grand Theatre Arts Wing on Friday 18th May at 8.00pm.

Elis won critical praise and a legion of new fans at Edinburgh with the smash-hit sell-out show 'Do You Remember the First Time?' (16+) So much so that the bilingual Welshman decided to take his charm offensive on the road with a whirlwind tour of the UK from February 2012.

Bringing his hilarious, freewheeling storytelling to Swansea Grand Theatre, Elis's candid, expertly timed anecdotes will be sure to delight.

Charting a series of 'first times', Elis weaves his audience through a chance encounter with a celebrity, an accident at a wedding and the good old-fashioned drunkenness of others, something more than a few of us can relate to.

Having performed internationally, supported fellow Welsh export Rhod Gilbert on tour and established a long list of credits, including 8 Out 10 Cats (Channel 4), The Rob Brydon Show (BBC Two), Show and Tell (Channel 4), Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three), Dave's One Night Stand (Dave), Radio 5's Back End Of Next Week and BBC Wales' Rhod Gilbert Show, Elis James has cemented himself as one of comedy's brightest young stars.
