💥🎙️We’re thrilled to unveil the lineup for our first-ever monthly comedy night, Stand‑Up in the Basement at FREVD. Expect a mix of familiar TV faces, top-tier circuit comedians, and bright new talent on the cusp of breakout success. Rest assured, you’re in for top‑notch comedy, even from names you might not recognise...yet.
September’s line-up includes the legendary Jeff Innocent, a master of mixing sharp social commentary with his unmistakable East End charm. Described as “a masterclass in stand-up” by The Sunday Times and “gag-heavy, quick-witted and brutally funny” by Chortle, Jeff is a veteran of the circuit and recent winner of British Comedian of the Year, proving he’s only getting better with time.
Joining him is Elliot Steel, whose raw, confessional style has earned rave reviews across the board. Fest Mag called his show “superb and brutally honest”, while Beyond the Joke praised him as “pacy, funny and full of ideas”. At just 27, he’s already carved out a reputation for fearless storytelling and original perspectives on everything from masculinity to MMA mishaps.
Punctuating the evening as MC is the ever-slick Colin Owens, a festival favourite and circuit regular known for his laid-back charm and self-deprecating humour. With praise from the likes of The Guardian and The Stage, and even shout-outs from Jimmy Carr and Frank Skinner, Colin is the perfect host to keep things flowing (and the laughs coming).
🍸To celebrate, we’re extending our happy hour ‘til 7.30pm on comedy nights, come early and grab one of our signature cocktails before the laughs kick off.
