Wales has been very well represented here at the Fringe, and here's a little gem from Rhys Slade-Jones. Bringing to life Treherbet Rugby Club, he tells us his family history, how his parents met, and brings to life the humour and melancholy of the Valleys.

He is a warm, welcoming performer, sassy and naughty as he reads from his mother's diary, sings a couple of songs and is, rightly, unashamedly gay and camp. As a gay Valleys boy myself, it was like watching some of my history! But this is no piece of fluff, Rhys Slade-Jones does not flinch from the ravages of the loss of industry and jobs, the under funding of the NHS and the closure of community centres and groups.

It's a deeply personal piece that will speak to many, Welsh or not, and this is a highly enjoyable hour in the company of a very funny man. Besides which, he wears an attractive pair of shorts!
