Scott Bennett has a brilliant banter with Tegid at the Aberystwyth Comedy Festival

We all know that sometimes people struggle with Welsh names and places.

It’s a source of untold joy to us, but some frustration for those outside of our glorious nation.

One of those lovely moments came at the recent Aberystwyth Comedy Festival when rising star comedian Scott Bennett encountered a Welshman with an unusual name, well to an English person anyway, who had a very particular set of skills.
