Performance

Comedy

Who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? We all do. That's why at Aberystwyth we'll fill your year with some of the best comedians out there. Every fortnight the Students' Union host a popular Comedy Works night, where new and established comedians alike perform hilarious acts to have you laughing your socks off (just make sure you've not got holes in them)!

The Arts Centre have their own comedy line up too, frequently hosting the UK's top comedians and all at reasonable prices. Some recent acts include: Jimmy Carr, Rob Brydon, Rhod Gilbert and Alistair McGowen to name but a few.

We're a hot spot for all your comedy needs: wit, sarcasm, political or provoking; the comedians we get will definitely send you home laughing.

Theatre

With a superb Theatre, Film and Television department it's no surprise that there's so much going on; you won't know where to start.

The drama department alone hosts over 15 productions a year, starring none other than their final year students. As well as this, there are loads of other societies, town drama clubs and of course the Arts Centre productions...

The Arts Centre hosts some of the best theatre groups out there, and this includes musicals, performance, dance, traditional drama and music. Recently the Arts Centre cinema has invested in a top of the range digital projection system which is capable of "Live Streaming" of the very best productions from around  the world to you in Aberystwyth - from the New York Met, Royal Opera and National Theatre.
