Pembrokeshire performer to return home with new comedy show
Emily Davis, a former Ysgol y Preseli pupil, has made a name for herself on the London cabaret and theatre scene with her one-woman musical comedies.
She has performed at the Wales Millennium Centre and top London venues, including The Phoenix Arts Club and The Pheasantry.
This June, she will return to Pembrokeshire for two performances.
First, she will play Sombra in HOS Musical Theatre's summer production of The Arcadians.
Sombra is a gentle spirit from the idyllic land of Arcadia, who ventures into the outside world to spread truth and kindness.
Emily will also perform her new original show, Escape the Rat Race, at Newport Memorial Hall on Friday, June 28.
This musical comedy is about breaking free from city life and finding joy in unexpected places.
Emily said: "I always bring my new work home to Pembrokeshire – it's where I started performing, and where I feel most connected.
"These shows are about real life, really.
"If people leave having laughed, felt something, and maybe sung along, that's a good night."
Tickets for Escape the Rat Race are available now.
Emily will perform at various locations in June, including Broad Haven Hall on June 3, Clarbeston Road Hall on June 5, Fishguard Masonic Hall on June 7, and Torch Theatre on June 10.
Tickets for these performances are available on the door or through the respective venues.
