Owen Money and his band were due to entertain Christmas party goers at the Castell y Bwch pub in Cwmbran tonight. But his throat was very sore so his daughter Katie Dennis filled his boots.
A crowd of about 70 people enjoyed food and the show in the marquee outside the pub.
Katie sang a few songs and then Owen came on for just over an hour.of classic Welsh comedy stand-up.
Here are some of his gags :
To a table of old people- “Where are you Titanic survivors from?”
To a bald man- “Don’t buy a raffle ticket butt, the prize is a hairdryer.”
“I live in a litttle village outside Asda called Merthyr.”
To my wife…”You are a beauty…No not you, the one behind you.”
“I grew up sleeping in a bed with eight sisters. I never slept on my own until I got married.”
“My second wife was a Babe. Have you seen the film?.”
“I now live in Porthcawl for tax reasons.”
“In Porthcawl the Somalians are running the pirate ship in the fairground.”
“When I grew up a cordless phone meant you were cut off.”
“There is so much sex on the internet I’ve got a left handed mouse.”
“My Mum invented quangos. ‘ Mum, can I go to the pictures? No you quango”.
Brilliant. He had the room belly laughing.
His daughter Kellie also had a few good one liners including:
“Dont take a photo. I’m on income support.”
