The big 'Cwtsh' debate hits Twitter

The Welshman who puts the 'Cwtsh' into comedy has sparked an internet debate on the use of the word.

Should the favourite Welsh word for a hug be a 'Cwtsh' or a 'Cwtch' – that is the question.

According to Phil Evans, the resident 'Hug-meister' of Wales, the correct spelling of the word is Cwtsh.

"I am sure there will be plenty of Welsh scholars out there willing to say different, but in my book it should always end in 'sh' rather than 'ch'," said Evans.

The debate started when Evans billed his St Dwynwen's Day gig at the Pontardawe Arts Centre as 'Comedy and Cwtshes'.

"I've always been adamant that the correct version is 'Cwtsh', so it has been interesting to follow the debate on social media sites.

"In particular, I've been interested to see that Huw Irranca-Davies, MP for Ogmore, has been having his say on the debate.

PHILEVANS BLOG UPDATE - FEBRUARY 7^TH 2011

In my last blog I started to tell you about my initiation into the world of television studio audiences. But linked to that, I forgot to mention a story I’d  heard about that great natural clown, the comedians comedian Tommy Cooper who, just before a recording of one of his tv shows made at Thames Television in Teddington, walked on to the set unannounced, holding a small two-bar electric fire.

Although reality television (Question! Is there anything that looks and feels more un-real than reality television? ) and fly-on-the-wall style sitcoms & documentaries are very popular, many tv shows are still made ‘ the old way’ , in a television studio in front of a live audience.
