Julian has performed on The Russell Howard Hour and supported Paul Chowdhry on his sold out tour.
His witty writing skills have also been put to use, with writing credits including Jimmy Carr, Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks , Unspun with Matt Forde and Morgan Spurlock’s New Britannia. Julian and fellow comedian Carl Donnelly host the podcast Two Vegan Idiots.
"Deliciously twisted. a stream of seriously good gags. quick, sharply written and endlessly repeatable lines" The Guardian
"Assured and brilliant. Deane is a class apart. a master of hilarious twists and turns" Chortle
It’s just a matter of time before Julian Deane gets a boost up the comedy rankings. His trick is to make you think you’re watching standard stand-up fare, then twisting expectations with sharp, original punchlines" The Independent

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.
