We founded & run some of the UKs most loved festival weekends,
including the Machynlleth Comedy Festival which has been described as “One of the best festivals in the World”
– Rhod Gilbert.
Our passion is to bring together stand-out, stand-up shows in unique locations to create magic moments for acts and audiences alike.
Our flagship festival in the beautiful mid-Wales market town of Machynlleth was created to provide a relaxed space for artists to try new work in front of warm, receptive audiences. It now attracts thousands of visitors each May Day Bank Holiday weekend.
With the same core principles as Mach but more focused on finished shows and combined with a plethora of pubs, clubs and restaurants. As such, Aberystwyth Comedy Festival has a distinctly different personality, held each year during the first weekend in October.
Little Wander are proud to have curated and managed the Green Man comedy line-up since 2008.
Since 2010, Little Wander have developed a number of sell-out Showcase Comedy Galas at the annual Hay Literary Festival.
From the biggest names in the UK comedy scene to nurturing new breakthrough talent, Little Wander has a proud reputation of programming exciting and diverse line ups at world-class festivals.
We are Wales’ leading comedy production company. From initial conceptual discussions through to final delivery, we have 15 years of direct experience and extensive industry knowledge to advise and assist with all aspects of festival planning whatever the scale.
Our festivals provide fantastic opportunities to engage with our audience at the ultimate feel-good weekend events. We're always keen to chat with potential new sponsors to find a bespoke package to fit your organisation's needs. Get in touch to find out more!
Our aim is to create the best festival experiences possible for all. We take pride in putting the acts at the heart of what we do but we're also delighted with the enthusiastic, comedy-savvy crowd that they attract.
Launching the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in 2010 is probably what Little Wander is most known for, and the flagship event is still firmly at the heart of what the organisation delivers.
Mach grew from a collection of 30 shows across 4 venues to one of the most loved events in the UK comedy calendar. It now boasts a weekend schedule of over 200 comedy, theatre and family shows from Friday to Sunday in 20 venues from 30 to 500 capacity and over 20,000 tickets sold to an audience drawn in from all corners of the UK.
In 2018, the company launched a sister festival to Machynlleth in Aberystwyth, and we have been proudly curating and managing the comedy stage at the award-winning Green Man Festival since 2008.
