Colin Owens is the charming chaos at the heart of Stand Up in the Basement. He’s been gigging across the UK comedy circuit since 2005, known for his dry delivery, laid-back style, and razor-sharp crowd work. Colin’s the glue that holds the night together — setting the tone, warming up the room, and making sure no one gets too comfy in the front row.

He first made waves after winning the Jimmy Carr Comedy Idol Competition, going on to support Carr at Bloomsbury Theatre and perform alongside comics like Frank Skinner, Tim Vine, and Michael McIntyre.

When he’s not making rooms laugh, he’s behind the kit with The Black Kat Boppers — Southampton’s own rock ’n’ roll rebels. Turns out timing’s everythin... whether it’s a punchline or a drum solo.
