SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
Michael Fabbri
Michael Fabbri has a wonderfully understated way of making the ridiculous sound entirely reasonable. With his dry delivery, sharp observations and talent for taking everyday situations to increasingly absurd conclusions, he's a master of the unexpected punchline.
An established name on the UK comedy circuit, Michael has written and starred in his own BBC Radio 4 comedy series, Dyslexicon, and written for Channel 4's Stand Up for the Week. A Chortle Awards Best Club Comic nominee, he's performed at comedy clubs and festivals across the UK and supported Micky Flanagan, Lucy Porter and Stephen K Amos on tour.
His deceptively laid-back style and carefully crafted storytelling have made him a favourite with audiences and critics alike.
“Exceptionally funny, extremely sharp, hugely enjoyable” – The Scotsman
★★★★ “An amiable and engaging storyteller” – The List
“Inventive, off-kilter routines” – Chortle
“One of the brightest and best new observational comics on the circuit” – The Guardian

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.
