SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
James Redmond
James Redmond is a dry, slick, and subtle stand-up with a knack for taking audiences down unexpected paths as he deconstructs the art of comedy itself.
Best known for his acting roles in Hollyoaks, Casualty, and Emmerdale, James first found fame on TV screens before swapping scripts for stand-up. He’s also been a presenter on SM:TV and CD:UK alongside Cat Deeley, and appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Celebrity Come Dine With Me, and Soccer AM.
Since hitting the circuit, he’s performed thousands of gigs across the UK, bringing his understated wit and clever storytelling to comedy clubs, festivals, and charity shows nationwide.
"A very fine comedian, endearing & clever, with a natural talent for engaging the audience" - Broadway Baby
"Quality stuff" – The Scotsman
"Fresh-off-the-telly James Redmond has the makings of a really good comic. His tales of texting, girlfriends and Barry from Bristol are quality stuff." – Kate Copstick for Fringe Magazine

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.
