Hampshire, Jewry Street, Winchester, SO23 8SB
Superb show in prospect in the ever excellent studio theatre in the Winchester Discovery Centre. As ever, a top barnstormers Comedy MC will be on hand to introduce three more top acts from the UK Comedy Circuit and beyond. Tonight, they consist of: slick gags from BBC2 Mash Report's Steve N Allen, 'Allen hits the mark, with an effusive mix of biting satire and gleeful mud-slinging that recalls Russell Howard by way of Ian Hislop' - Three Weeks; the freestyling stand-up of Ben Van der Velde, 'Whipsharp…with an air of mischievous mayhem…his hit rate is impressive, while his in-the-moment style creates a buzz of excitement in the room' - Chortle.; and the endearingly cynical Nick Dixon, 'Well worth looking out for' - Jason Manford.
