SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
Jack Skipper
Hailing from South London, Jack Skipper has gone from carpet fitter to comedy sensation. With over 19 million likes on TikTok and 460k+ Instagram followers, his everyday-guy charm and hilarious takes on working-class life have made him one of the fastest-rising names in British comedy.
A runner-up in So You Think You’re Funny? (2022), Jack has since starred in ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show, supported Michael McIntyre and Russell Kane on tour, and will soon feature on Comedy Central Live.
His debut show Skint sold out at the Pleasance and bagged nominations for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024, NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy, and won Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2024.

About Stand Up in the Basement
Stand Up in the Basement brings some of the best comedians from the UK comedy circuit to Southampton, with regular live comedy nights at Papillon in the city centre.
Our line-ups mix established names, award-winning comedians and some of the funniest acts making their way up through the circuit. You might recognise them from TV, podcasts, Edinburgh Fringe or comedy clubs around the country, or you might discover someone completely new.
The night started life in an actual basement, hence the name, but these days we’re above ground in a beautiful old vestry, while keeping the same idea: brilliant stand-up, a great atmosphere and a proper night out in Southampton.
