The Coastal Comedy Show on Saturday the 24th November with TV headliner Ben Norris!
Enjoy a fantastic night out and get to see TV Headliner Ben Norris Live:
As seen on:
They Think It's All Over (BBC1)
Mock the Week (BBC2)
Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2)
Ben has been performing on the comedy circuit since 1993, and has recently been supporting Ed Byrne on his national tour. He has appeared on a range of different television shows, is a regular at The Comedy Store, and has developed an incredibly relaxed stage persona with an innate ability to improvise as well as deliver sharply crafted material.
"The term circuit legend is overused, but Norris is one of a handful that have been headlining for more than two decades and rarely departs a stage without leaving it torn to shreds in his wake. A master of the craft, this will be the most polished stand-up you are likely to see." GQ Magazine
"A cast iron guaranteed headliner" - Londonisfunny
"Killer gags" - The Scotsman
"Truly a sight to behold" - Ed Byrne
Opening the show is local comic Gareth Richards. Gareth has appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC2), Live at the Electric (BBC3) and in January performed live on Radio 1 on two separate occasions. He has also performed live on Radio 1 and co-hosted Frank Skinner’s Sony award-winning Absolute Radio show for two years and supported Frank on his 2014 tour. His hilarious stand-up, silly jokes and gorgeously low-key comedy songs have made him an instant favourite on the comedy circuit.
“A delightful hour of comedy” The Guardian
Also performing on the night is Martin Wratten - an ex ice cream man from Eastbourne. At the height of his ice cream days Martin could make 3 Mr Whippies at once. But, those days are long gone.

“Superbly intelligent, highly articulate and deeply sour” The Spectator
“His show is funny. Lawrence’s material is dark and deeply self-deprecating, bitter and somehow managing to be both biting and tongue in cheek.” The Scotsman
Opening the show is the hilarious Jim Campbell who has been busy with a chart-topping podcast, an acclaimed book and his personal life exploding. Everyone was right though; it’s good for material.
“Charmingly fresh... an hour in Campbell's company will leave you entertained and enlightened” The List ****
Also appearing for your laughing pleasure is George Rigden who is already one of the most exciting, hotly-tipped and sought after new acts on the UK comedy circuit and frequently gigs up and down the country for leading clubs having excelled in a host of new act competitions in his first year of performing.
Rigden’s musical comedy is deliciously dark...he is very good at working the crowd." - Bruce Dessau, beyond the joke.
