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 event is extra special cause we'll be six years old! Whoohooo.

COMEDIAN BIOS

⭐ Addy Van Der Borgh

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Addy Borgh has that rare talent of making people laugh when he walks on stage (helped of course by a large nose and mad eyes).

Addy is a great performer of highly acclaimed and original material, an ability noticed immediately by the BBC when he appeared on the ‘Stand-up show’ (BBC1) after only one year as a comedian. He has subsequently appeared on ‘Live at Jongleurs’ for Sky TVand will be appearing in the forthcoming BBC3 series from Baby Cow Productions, “Baby Candy”.

With brilliant timing and an array of voices and characters which animate and enliven even the most drab subject matter (computers, museums, libraries) Addy has built a following of fans not just in all the major clubs in Britain (Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Comedy Cafe etc) but also worldwide, including Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand.

⭐ Duncan Adam

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Duncan Adam has been making waves on the South Coast comedy circuit for the last few years now, and is making a name for himself with his sharp writing and engaging anecdotes.

From life isolated in the Scottish countryside to lighter topics like teaching children about death, Duncan injects all his routines with a brilliantly dry wit that audiences love.

He made the semi-finals for the South Coast Comedian of the year and regularly performs at pro nights across the South Coast and is very popular with acts and bookers alike. Most notably, he has made several appearances at Brighton Komedia for the hand-picked Comic Boom comedy night.

'Duncan grips the room with his anecdotal stories and killer delivery which will leave the audience howling and screaming for more' – PM Promotion
