Last weekend, the Crabulous! pageant crabs rose from the seabed to strut, sparkle and serve for their debut as part of the Seascape Festival in Porthcawl. 🦀🐚

Think you know crabs? Think again. It’s high stakes at low tide, as each crab clown fights for the crown. Who will float to the top? 👑

Expect outrageous costumes, fierce competition, and a joyous celebration of being unapologetically too much.

📸 Thank you to for these absolutely pincer-perfect photos.

You can next catch Crabulous!, our brand-new street theatre extravaganza, at Unity Festival in Llanelli on 25 June, as well as performances in Mold on 27 June and at various Unity Festival events in Cardiff from 1 – 5 July. ✨

Y penwythnos diwethaf, daeth crancod y pageant allan o wely’r môr i strytio, disgleirio a gwasanaethu ar gyfer eu perfformiad cyntaf erioed, a oedd yn rhan o Ŵyl Seascape ym Mhorthcawl. 🦀🐚

Meddwl eich bod yn gwybod am grancod? Meddyliwch eto. Mae’n risg uchel ar lanw isel, wrth i bob clown cranc ymladd am y goron. Pwy fydd yn arnofio i’r brig? 👑

Disgwyliwch weld gwisgoedd rhyfeddol, cystadleuaeth ffyrnig, a dathliad llawn llawenydd o fod dros ben llestri heb fod â chywilydd o hynny.

📸 Diolch i am y lluniau pincer-berffaith hyn.

Nesaf gallwch weld Crabulous!, ein sioe theatr stryd newydd sbon, yng Ngŵyl Undod yn Llanelli ar 25 Mehefin, yn ogystal â pherfformiadau yn yr Wyddgrug ar 27 Mehefin ac mewn amrywiol ddigwyddiadau Gŵyl Undod yng Nghaerdydd o 1 – 5 Gorffennaf.

A Unity Festival first.

This year, for the very first time, our comedy night takes over the iconic The Glee Club Cardiff! 🎤

Curated and hosted by Hijinx Associate Artist Richard Newnham, this line-up brings together a bold new wave of Autistic comedians reshaping what stand-up can be. No filters, no clichés, just sharp, surprising and brilliantly offbeat comedy.

This isn’t about fitting in. It’s about standing out. 💁

🎟️ Tickets are only £7.50 (plus the £2.75 booking fee). Join us on Tuesday 30 June and expect the unexpected! Book your tickets here 👉 https://www.glee.co.uk/performer/hijinx-unity-festival/
__

Eleni, am y tro cyntaf erioed, mae ein noson gomedi yn cymryd drosodd y Glee Club eiconig! 🎤

Wedi ei baratoi a’i arwain gan Artist Cysylltiol Hijinx, Richard Newnham, mae’r artistiaid yma yn dwyn at ei gilydd don newydd ddewr o gomedïwyr Awtistig sy’n ailddiffinio beth all stand-yp fod. Dim hidlo, dim ystrydebau, dim ond comedi finiog, ryfeddol a gwych o wahanol.

Nid yw hyn yn fater o ffitio i mewn. Mae’n fater o sefyll allan. 💁

🎟️ Dim ond £7.50 yw'r tocynnau (ynghyd â'r ffi archebu o £2.75). Ymunwch â ni ddydd Mawrth 30 Mehefin a disgwyliwch yr annisgwyl! Archebwch eich tocynnau yma 👉 https://www.glee.co.uk/performer/hijinx-unity-festival/

Our new street theatre piece 'The Audience' is currently in development in our Academies across Wales, and will be premiering at Unity Festival in Llanelli on 25 June at Ffwrnes. ⭐

They’re coming. Chairs in hand. A crowd gathers. They move as one, then not at all. Chairs snap open. Pathways collide. The impossible starts to take shape. What begins as something familiar becomes something stranger, more playful, more dangerous. Who are they watching? And when does an audience stop observing and start becoming part of the show? 🪑

The Audience is a bold, slapstick exploration of togetherness, disruption, and the delicate balance between control and collapse, building towards a breathtaking final image that shouldn’t stand…but somehow does.

Catch 'The Audience' at Unity Festival in Llanelli (25 June), Mold (27 June) and Cardiff (4 – 5 July). 👀
__

Mae ein darn theatr stryd newydd 'The Audience' wrthi'n cael ei ddatblygu yn ein Hacademïau ledled Cymru, a bydd yn cael ei berfformio am y tro cyntaf yng Ngŵyl Undod yn Llanelli ar 25 Mehefin yn y Ffwrnes. ⭐

Maen nhw’n dod. Cadeiriau gyda nhw. Mae tyrfa’n ymgasglu. Maen nhw’n symud fel un, ac yna ddim o gwbl. Mae’r cadeiriau’n agor yn glep. Mae llwybrau’n croesi ei gilydd. Mae’r amhosibl yn dechrau dod i siâp. Mae’r hyn gychwynnodd fel rhywbeth cyfarwydd yn dod yn rhywbeth rhyfeddach, mwy chwareus, peryclach. Pwy maen nhw’n ei wylio? A phryd fydd cynulleidfa’n peidio gwylio a dechrau dod yn rhan o’r sioe? 🪑

Mae The Audience yn archwiliad heriol, slapstic o agosatrwydd, amharu, a’r cydbwysedd bregus rhwng rheolaeth a chwalfa, gan adeiladu tuag at ddelwedd derfynol syfrdanol na ddylai allu sefyll…ond sy’n gallu rhywsut.

Gwyliwch 'The Audience' yng Ngŵyl Undod yn Llanelli (25 Mehefin), yr Wyddgrug (27 Mehefin) a Chaerdydd (4 – 5 Gorffennaf). 👀

We are kicking off 2026’s Unity Festival in style with a night of drag, disruption, and unapologetic celebration headlined by the electrifying Midgitte Bardot.

⭐ Midgitte is also your host for the evening, a powerhouse performer with a voice that soars and a wit that cuts.
🦀 Rolling in the deep, Hijinx’s Crabulous! claws its way into the event with a subversive saltwater splash.
👠 Strutting their way from Seville, a drag mother/daughter combo from Danza Mobile serve up 10s, 10s, 10s across the board with a bold, ballroom-inspired spectacle.
💋 Serving it loud on home soil, the House of Deviant return with their new dragstravaganza ‘LIPS: Loud, Indecent, Proud’. These queens steal the spotlight with a scandalous soundtrack and stories that refuse to stay quiet.

Tickets are on sale now 👉 https://www.hijinx.org.uk/unity-festival-2026-cabaret-night/

Rydym yn cychwyn Gŵyl Undod 2026 mewn steil gyda noson o drag, cynhyrfu’r dyfroedd a dathliad digyfaddawd yn cael ei arwain gan y trydanol Midgitte Bardot.

⭐ Midgitte sy’n eich arwain trwy’r noson, yn berfformiwr llawn egni gyda llais dyrchafol a ffraethineb miniog.
🦀 Yn y dyfnderoedd, bydd Crabulous! Hijinx yn crancio eu ffordd i’r digwyddiad gyda’u sblash o ddŵr hallt chwyldroadol.
👠 Nesaf, yr holl ffordd o Seville, mae cyfuniad mam/merch drag o Danza Mobile yn cyrraedd 10, 10 a 10 gan bawb gyda gwledd wedi ei seilio ar ddawnsio neuadd ddawns.
💋 Bydd yr House of Deviant yn dychwelyd yn groch yn eu cartref gyda’u dragstravaganza ‘LIPS: Loud, Indecent, Proud’. Mae’r breninesau yma yn dwyn y llifoleuadau gyda thrac sain cywilyddus a storïau sy’n mynnu cael eu clywed.

Hijinx Unity Festival presents Off-Script, a night of comedy that refuses to play it safe. ⭐

Curated and hosted by Hijinx Associate Artist Richard Newnham, and featuring Anthony Bozzola, Chrissy Derbyshire, Dave Munro, and Kate Llewellyn, each act brings their own distinct voice, style and perspective to the stage. The result? A night that swerves the expected and lands somewhere far more interesting. 🎤

For the first time, this Unity Festival event takes over the iconic The Glee Club Cardiff, bringing this boundary-pushing line-up to one of the UK’s most loved comedy stages.

This isn’t about fitting in. It’s about standing out. Tickets are on sale now 👉 https://www.hijinx.org.uk/unity-festival-2026-comedy-night/

Mae Gŵyl Undod Hijinx yn cyflwyno Off-Script, noson o gomedi sy'n gwrthod chwarae'n ddiogel. ⭐

Wedi ei baratoi a’i arwain gan Artist Cysylltiol Hijinx, Richard Newnham, ac yn cynnwys Anthony Bozzola, Chrissy Derbyshire, Dave Munro, a Kate Llewellyn, bydd pob act yn dod â’i llais, arddull a safbwynt ei hun i’r llwyfan. Y canlyniad? Noson sy’n gwyro’r disgwyliedig ac yn glanio yn rhywle llawer mwy diddorol. 🎤

Am y tro cyntaf bydd y digwyddiad Gŵyl Undod meddiannu’r Glee Club eiconig, gan ddod â’r artistiaid yma sy’n gwthio ffiniau i un o hoff lwyfannau comedi y Deyrnas Unedig.

Nid yw hyn yn fater o ffitio i mewn. Mae’n fater o sefyll allan. Mae tocynnau ar werth nawr 👉 https://www.hijinx.org.uk/cy/gwyl-undod-2026-noson-gomedi/
