From Live From Aberystwyth Pier

Athena Kugblenu commits a major faux pas in this stand-up clip – forgetting where it is that she’s performing.

The comic elicits a good-natured boo when she refers to the ‘Cardiff’ audience – when she’s actually in Aberystwyth. But it could have been much worse – at least she didn’t call the crowd English.

In this clip, Kugblenu also speaks about having a ‘resting bitch face’, how awful men treat her unapproachability as a challenge, and how the tampon was invented by a man. But she reassures the audience she’s not just going to mock  men - she’s going to have a pop at white people too

The footage was filmed in 2021 for the BBC show Live from Aberystwyth Pier, just after lockdown, and now released as individual clips.

It was shot by Turtle Canyon Comedy with promoters Little Wander and is one of several clips put out by the producers today.
