Stand Up in the Basement Comedy - Andrew White | Scott Bennett | Harriet Kemsley

STAND UP IN THE BASEMENT

Southampton once-a-month-on-a-Tuesday Comedy Club, now at Heartbreakers venue

🎙WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT 🎙
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
No prizes for guessing that STAND UP IN THE BASEMENT is a stand up comedy night and guess what? It’s on a Tuesday night! Meaning you get to see top TV comics making you chuckle in the same room, and for a fraction of the normal price!

As well as familiar faces from TV, we feature some of the best circuit comics, plus new raw talent and occasionally a few big names who wanna come and try out some new material. It’s tailor-made for people who love live comedy! You’ll get to see a diverse range of comic talent in an intimate space.

💥 THIS MONTH'S LINE-UP 💥

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
⭐ ANDREW WHITE

Flamboyantly repressed and optimistically cynical, Andrew White is a stand-up fast rising through the comedy ranks with an act that’s not to be missed (Daily Record). His credentials include: Mock the Week, BBC’s Newsjack, Comedy Central, NewsRevue on the West End and ​BBC 5Live’s Wagatha Christie. When asked what he thought about Andrew, Joe Lycett said he’s "a very exciting and very funny new act with accomplished and unique stage presence and some lines that made me annoyed I hadn’t written them. Definitely one to watch."

⭐ SCOTT BENNETT

Likeable, warm and engaging, Scott is a Yorkshire live wire with an undeniable no nonsense logic. Recently described by the Evening Standard as “Live Comedy’s best kept secret”, Scott Bennett has been blazing a trail through the stand-up circuit for the best part of a decade. He’s written for many high profile acts such as Chris Ramsey and Jason Manford, and recently recorded his debut on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo. In massive demand as a comedy writer and with regular appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and The Now Show, Scott is an act on the verge of breaking through into the big time.

“Best Act” in the Comics' Comic awards– a prestigious award decided by comedians and promoters in the industry, and other accolades include: Best Club Comedian in the Chortle awards Winner 2022. Leicester Comedy Festival “Best Show” Nominee, 2019 and 2020. English Comedian of the Year Runner Up. Comedy Cellar New Act of the Year. Old Speckled Hen Comedian of the Year). Amused Moose Comedy Award Nominee 2015. 

⭐ HARRIET KEMSLEY

Harriet Kemsley is an awkwardly chaotic force on stage as she apparently is in life. Straight out of the traps, she’s into disarmingly frank stories and is unguarded and outwardly messy, but between all the confessions and wackiness she slips in some weighty themes by stealth. "At the dawn of her TV career" (Radio Times), You'll have seen her on: Live at the Apollo, 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, Hypothetical, Roast Battle, Guessable, As Yet Untitled, Comedy Central at the Comedy Store, Bobby & Harriet Get married. 

'Packs in high calibre jokes" – Guardian. **** "A masterful hour" – Skinny. **** – Scotsman. ****– List. **** – Fest.

‘A quirky very funny new stand up… her style is refreshingly original and she’s a seriously good writer‘ – Time Out
