Gwrych Castle will host a one-night-only evening of stand-up on 12 September, with Brennan Reece, Rachel Baker and Matt Richardson performing inside one of Wales' most atmospheric historic venues.
Expect sharp wit, intimate candlelit vibes and a comedy night unlike anything else in North Wales.
Gwrych Castle isn't the sort of place you expect to find a comedy club.
Perched above Abergele and known for its aristocratic past, reality TV fame and centuries of ghost stories, it's a landmark steeped in drama rather than punchlines.
But this September, its historic interiors will transform into a candlelit performance space for an evening of live stand-up presented by HeritageXplore and Harry Jenkins.
The setting alone makes it a standout night out: a room never designed for comedy, made all the better for it.
The bill brings together three sharp, TV-ready performers.

Brennan Reece, known for his appearances on Live at the Apollo, joins Rachel Baker, a 2025 Funny Woman finalist whose rising-star status has earned her a growing fanbase.
They're joined by Matt Richardson, familiar from Live at the Apollo, Xtra Factor and Dancing on Ice, with host Harry Jenkins guiding the night.
Between them, audiences can expect ninety minutes of quick wit, big laughs and the kind of close-up energy that only comes from performing in a space this intimate.
With just two shows — a 7pm performance and a later 9.15pm slot — capacity is limited, adding to the sense of exclusivity.
A bar will be open throughout, and free parking is available on site.
Line-ups are always subject to change, but organisers say they'll do their best to provide a like-for-like replacement should anything shift.
For anyone looking for a comedy night with atmosphere, history and a touch of the unexpected, Gwrych Castle's candlelit stand-up promises something genuinely special.
