mat ewins

Another year, another Wells Comedy Festival. It is dusk on Friday evening, the first night of the festival, and we have just sped from Bristol through the cowslips and lush greenery of the summer Somerset countryside to Mat Ewins’ 9.30pm show. Flicking through the programme, I was pleased to see that there were only two more men in total on the line-up than women, although I didn’t do any sort of calculations as to whether men on average had more prestigious time slots or more shows in the bigger theatres.
