SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
Nick Helm
Nick Helm is a thunderous force of comedy. A circuit legend since bursting onto the scene in 2007, his live shows are wild, unpredictable rollercoasters packed with one-liners, stories, poems, songs and glorious, slow-burn fury.
He came to prominence after the smash success of his Edinburgh Fringe show Keep Hold of the Gold and went on to star as Andy in the cult BBC Three sitcom Uncle. His TV credits also include 8 Out of 10 Cats, Russell Howard’s Good News, Celebrity Mastermind, Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment (BBC Three) and Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm on Dave, alongside acting roles such as Loaded (Channel 4).

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.
