Come and enjoy this fabulous triple bill! A top night of live stand-up comedy with 3 hilarious acts plus host, up close and personal in our beautifully intimate studio at the Lighthouse, brought to you by our resident and multi-award winning Coastal Comedy Club.Headliner Andy Askins has been seen on The John Bishop Show (BBC1) and The Comedy Store (Comedy Central). A diminutive figure with an air of vulnerability, Andy takes to the stage armed with a guitar and a cheeky grin, an overwhelmingly misleading demeanour that makes his killer punchlines hit even harder.
Andy delivers an expertly crafted routine of original comic songs, parodies, and offbeat humour. A talented musician with a captivating voice, he gives popular songs a perverse twist to tremendous comic effect. His wickedly dry humour is softened by an innocent and impish charm, leaving audiences completely captivated.
Since becoming a full-time comedian in 2005, Andy has worked alongside stand-up luminaries including Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr, Micky Flanagan, Harry Hill, Rhod Gilbert, Bill Bailey, and Jack Dee.
“Although he looks mild-mannered and studious, he actually packs a wry, cheeky wit. There is, most definitely, something warmly alluring about him. His winning persona goes a long way.” Chortle
Opening the show is the hilarious James Ellis an award-winning comedian and a rising star on the UK comedy scene, known for sharp observational humour and cleverly crafted punchlines drawn from everyday life.
