SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
Paul Foot
Paul Foot is Britain’s undisputed master of glorious nonsense – a surrealist whirlwind of oddball observations, poetic ramblings, and unshakable comic control. Beloved by cult fans worldwide, his unique style has earned him armfuls of awards and TV appearances, glowing five-star reviews, and a place among the most inventive comics of his generation.
“Foot is funnier and more daring than I’ve ever seen him…[Has] the audience laughing so hard they’re about to leave their bodies.” – ★★★★★ Chortle
“He’s a comedy genius, one of the funniest things I’ve seen. Sublime, original and brilliant.” – The Independent
“Utterly outlandish, but beneath layers of absurdity is Foot’s sharp eye for satire” - ★★★★ Time Out
"There is no logical reason why Paul Foot’s comedy should work, but work it does – to hilarious effect. Never before has so much been laughed at so little." – Metro
"Like a rare exotic bird, he's special" – The Daily Express

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.
