Ben Pope stand-up comedian comes to Southampton

Ben Pope is a stand-up comedian, writer, and comedy performer. He often gigs around the UK and his critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows 'Baby Sasquatch' (2018) and 'Dancing Bear' (2019) were ‘consistently funny and desperately thoughtful’ (The Scotsman). This led to him going to London’s Soho Theatre and gaining more than 30k views on his YouTube channel, Mr Big Stuff.

Ben was once one out of three members of the cult sketch group Princes of Main. He has previously worked with award-winning NewsRevue and has appeared on Achievement Unlocked (Comedy Central), Comedy Guide to Life (Dave) and BBC New Comedy Award on Radio 4 Extra.

Farhan Solo Muslim comedian

He was the first ever winner of the Top Secret comedy club gong show and has performed at Pro comedy nights all over the country. He has also taken part in the Desi Central events tour “ the Muslims are coming” performing in theatres. He was also a finalist in So you think you’re funny? 2021.

He was recently featured as a part of Channel 4’s “ Only Jokes a Muslim can tell” He skilfully navigates universally relatable topics such as race, religion, politics, family and dating - all through the eyes of an eccentric millennial Muslim.

Andrew Fox Komedia new comedian of the year 2024

“His gag-rich set draws on a few stereotypes, sometimes as a shortcut, and sometimes to subvert, as in his delightful description of what to do if facing an aggressive ‘chav’. With a surfeit of punchlines and a clear, authentic world view, ripe for affectionate mockery, he took the title on this close-fought night.” Steve Bennett, Chortle

“In his baseball cap and trackie bottoms and talking about growing up on a council estate he could have come across as a cousin of Simon Brodkin's Lee Nelson but Fox's stories had a ring of authenticity about them, well, maybe not the one about him being so small his parents could slip him and his endless siblings through the window when they lost their keys, but certainly some of his material. And Fox was clearly smart on the subject of class, aptly making the point that, of course, working class kids can be smart too. A clever and accessible set which, up against close competition, won him first prize on the night.” Bruce Dessau, Beyond the Joke

“Hugely relatable, funny, warm, and engaging! Go see him!!” Esther Manito

“One of the most exciting new comedy voices to emerge from Brighton. Smart, original gag-writing with a lot of heart and hilarious authenticity.” Jill Edwards, Promoter – Comic Boom comedy club at Komedia Brighton.
