Coastal Comedy: July 2026

Triple bill of comedy

Sat 11 Jul 2026

Our resident and multi-award winning Comedy Club, Coastal Comedy offers the very best in live stand-up talent every month in our beautifully intimate Sherling Studio. It's a popular triple bill of comedy with three fantastic acts, and host.

The Coastal Comedy Show with Andy Askins

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.

A Leicester Comedian of the Year 2025 nominee, South Coast Comedian of the Year 2021, and BBC New Comedy Award regional finalist, James is currently tour support for Angela Barnes on her Angst tour. Don’t miss this chance to catch him live for a guaranteed belly laughs.

“A talented comedy craftsman” Steve Bennett, Chortle

Also appearing on the night is Duncan Adam who has been Southcoast Comedian of the Year semi-finalist 2021 and Backyard Comedy Club Knockout finalist 2024 and is an exceptionally funny guy completing this fabulous lineup!

This show is not to be missed if you like laughing!

The night is hosted by Adrienne Coles from award winning Coastal Comedy – see you there!
