Kilimanjaro Live present
WYNNE EVANS – BEYOND COMPARE
‘An unforgettable night of Music, Songs, Stories and Laughter with one of Wales best loved personalities’
Sunday 24th May 2026 @ 7:45PM
Following a fame-induced mental health crisis and retreat from public life, Wynne Evans tip-toes back to the stage with a new x5-date, one-man ‘stand-up meets opera’ live show – and he’s starting on home turf!
Nationally renowned and loved as the moustached, opera-singing Gio Compario from the telly, Wynne Evans has announced that he’s tip-toeing back into public life, with his first ever stand-up meets opera one-man live show.
Following his retreat from the spotlight due to mental health issues earlier this year, Wynne has been spurred-on by his ardent support army of ‘Wynners’, who forcefully refused to let Wynne slip away into seclusion.
Stepping back to his Welsh roots, Wynne has spent the major part of 2025 gaining strength from his nearest and dearest at home, tending to guests in his new restaurant, whilst pioneering anew way of broadcasting with his independently launched radio show.
Now, thanks to the encouragement of his Wynners, Wynne Evans is gently stepping into his one-man show, where he feels being face-to-face with his audience, on home turf, is a comfortable progression back to entertainment.
‘Oh the support of my Wynners has been life-changing for me,’ explains Wynne. ‘I was prepared to sink into obscurity due to mental health problems, but the power of people is phenomenal when you need help. I came back home to Wales and my Wynners lifted me up and refused to let me give in. Through my new radio show, a flood of support and encouragement has literally helped me to recalibrate myself and recover from the issues that the powerful spotlight of fame threw at me. So now I’m pledging to give back to those that have helped me by staging my own one-man show. I’ll start in Wales, because this is a show to give-back to those at home who have really supported me. Who knows where it’ll go from there. But I couldn’t ignore the out-pouring of support from my fans (my Wynners), I can’t hide away, I’m going to give back to them. I’ll make this the best evening out that anyone has ever experienced. Laughter, candid chat, untold stories, audience interaction, and of course a lot of opera – I’m giving it my all.’
Giving it his all, especially for you – Wynne Evans is back!
