The Coastal Comedy Christmas Special
Friday 4th December The Barrington Arts Centre
Get ready to be catapulted into the festive spirit with a night of laughter at the Coastal Comedy Christmas Special! With three brilliant acts plus your host, this is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season at the beautiful Barrington Theatre.
Headlining the show is the one and only Terry Alderton as seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC), The Stand Up Show, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, and many more!
Terry is a true original: known for his razor-sharp impressions, surreal caricatures, and high-octane performances. His sets are hilariously interrupted by his two inner voices, creating a show like no other. Praised by Eddie Izzard as “a very funny man with a fantastic comedy mind… but someone who really ought to seek some sort of professional help,” Terry’s act is simply unforgettable.
Samantha Day opens the show! After three decades as an accountant and single mum, Samantha's been freed from the city and she's really hit her stride.
Previously nominated for the prestigious Amused Moose Award and with 4 Edinburgh shows under her belt, Samantha is a truly original act and a rising star on the circuit.
"A highly engaging performer" Chortle
Plus the hilarious Mike Cox, winner of the prestigious Fosters South Coast Comedian of the Year Award and many more.
Mike’s sharp wit and everyday cynicism have made him one to watch on the comedy circuit in recent years.
"Like an Everyman, if that Everyman had delicious cynicism and razor sharp wit." Romesh Ranganathan.
Adrienne Coles hosts the show, who's original observational material is full of clever word play, strong characterisation and even impressions.
Her apparent innocence is soon betrayed by an obvious wicked streak. Adrienne includes audience interaction, and gentle put downs that get great laughs.
“Warm, witty and original, Adrienne Coles always sees the funny side of life" Ben Elton
Chase away the winter blues and enjoy a top night of live stand-up comedy. There’s no Sad Syndrome here! There’s 3 hilarious acts plus host, up close and personal in our beautifully intimate Theatre at The Barrington, brought to you by multi-award winning Coastal Comedy Club.
Our headliner Rob Deering is as seen on:
Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1)
BBC’S The Weakest Link Comedian’s Special
Celebrity Mastermind - winner
With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit and clownish physicality Rob has quickly established himself as a firm favourite on the comedy circuit around Britain.
Rob performs stand-up comedy with music, using a guitar, a loop pedal and his voice to create impressive rock and pop soundscapes – and does jokes, of course.
“Ingenious and hilarious” The Guardian
“An evening in his company is nothing less than a joy” The Independent on Sunday
Kev Orkian opens the show. A highly skilled musician, Kev has honed his art to perfection over many years, from his days as a classical concert pianist to performing Stand-up Comedy around the world. Blending his off-beat humour with sensational performances on the piano, he has been dubbed one of the world’s finest comedy pianists.
Andy Field. Plus the hilarious Andy Field as seen on Stand up for Comedy (BBC3) and winner of the Chortle Student Comedy Award as well as finalist in the Leicester Square New Act of the Year. Andy has made an impact on the comedy scene with his unique style and fresh approach to traditional stand up.
Adrienne Coles hosts the show, who's original observational material is full of clever word play, strong characterisation and even impressions.
Her apparent innocence is soon betrayed by an obvious wicked streak. Adrienne includes audience interaction, and gentle put downs that get great laughs.
