She quickly cemented her position as one of the most exciting and original new stand-ups in the country, with her unflinching, acerbic and clever brand of comedy.

The Coastal Comedy Show with Mike Gunn
Saturday 13th September 2025
Come and experience our popular triple bill standup comedy shows staged by multi-award winning Coastal Comedy Club who offer the very best in stand-up talent in our beautiful intimate venue in the studio. It’s a top night of live comedy with 3 fantastic acts and host.
The headline act this month is the incredible Mike Gunn who’s TV appearances include: Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Celebrity Deal or no Deal (CH 4), Harry Hill’s TV Burp (ITV).
Mike Gunn’s history is as interesting and entertaining as his comedy. A misspent youth and a series of grim jobs cultivated his cynical outlook on life and a perverse desire led him to the world of stand-up. A self-confessed pessimist, he describes himself as “not a natural choice for a career in laughter”.
Early in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and has supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit.
“Mike Gunn will make you die laughing” The Guardian
“One of the 10 leading stand-ups in Britain” The Independent on Sunday
Michael Fabbri opens the show who manages to effortlessly slip between some harsh controversial topics to light-hearted silliness to make for a refreshingly eclectic and brilliantly funny act.
‘Exceptionally funny….extremely sharp…..hugely enjoyable’ The Scotsman
Also performing for your laughing pleasure is Andrew White. With skilful writing and a charming on-stage persona, Andrew White is a stand-up fast rising through the comedy ranks and an act that's
"Definitely one to watch" Joe Lycett.
