Welcome to our new fabulous Bournemouth home as we stage our multi-award winning shows at The Factory Space! Coastal Comedy bring you another top night of live stand-up with 3 fantastic acts and host.

Our headliner is the incredible Mike Gunn who’s TV appearances include: Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Celebrity Deal or no Deal (CH 4), Harry Hill’s TV Burp (ITV).

Mike Gunn’s history is as interesting and entertaining as his comedy. A misspent youth and a series of grim jobs cultivated his cynical outlook on life and a perverse desire led him to the world of stand-up. A self-confessed pessimist, he describes himself as “not a natural choice for a career in laughter”.

Early in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and has supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit.

“Mike Gunn will make you die laughing” The Guardian

“One of the 10 leading stand-ups in Britain” The Independent on Sunday

To open this special show we had to bring you Mad Ron –The Third Hardest Man in Uxbridge (you will see what we mean on the night). Mad Ron is the comedy creation of Steve Lee and has been making people laugh for almost a decade. He’s taken the circuit by storm. Now a multi award winning act he will make you crack up!

Also performing for your laughing pleasure is the very talented Johnny Wardlow who was part of the BBC New Comedy Awards 3 years running! Johnny’s based in Brighton and has delighted audiences all over the UK.

A top night out to uplift the spirits and not break the bank. These shows are kindly sponsored by United Taxis and hosted by Adrienne Coles.

Over 18s only. Acts may change due to TV commitments.

Adam has appeared on and written for various stand-up and panel shows on TV, and is a Time Out Award winner for best stand-up. He’s that funny.

Ricky Gervais says: Adam Bloom has been one of his favourite comedians for ten years: ‘…Bloom not only has meticulous, brilliant lines, but also an intense and fragile honesty.’

Opening the show is the hilarious Mike Cox, winner of the prestigious Fosters South Coast Comedian of the Year Award and many more. Mike’s sharp wit and everyday cynicism have made him one to watch on the comedy circuit in recent years.

"Like an Everyman, if that Everyman had delicious cynicism and razor sharp wit." Romesh Ranganathan.

“Likeable, animated and fluid with a first-rate sense of timing” Chortle
"A total natural, his storytelling is utterly unique, never anything less than gut-bustlingly hilarious" GQ Magazine

Dinesh Nathan opens the show. After winning several gong shows, Dinesh won South Coast Comedian Of The Year. In 2022 Dinesh appeared on BBC 3’s New Comedian of the Year awards and Comedy Central Live.

With a mix of high-spirited delivery and a sarcastic, self-deprecating viewpoint, Dinesh is a hit with any audience.

‘Crowd-pleasing without pandering, Nathan is a class act.’ Chortle

Also appearing on the night is up and coming Nathan Eagle who has a unique take on the world and makes the mundane look abstract. Nathan’s engaging stories about childhood, hoovers, dodgy geezers and disastrous disco dancing keep the audience hooked.
