Stand-up show 'Stone Cold' by Hull comedian Rich Austin at The Brain Jar during the Hull Comedy Festival.
Rich Austin brings his hour of stand-up, STONE COLD, to The Brain Jar on Sunday 8 November. It's part of the Hull Comedy Festival, which is back for its 20th edition this year, running from 1 to 15 November with 24 events spread across nine city centre venues. The Brain Jar is one of them, alongside Hull Truck, Comedy Lounge, Molly Mangan's, Living Room at Jubilee Central, and Space Pier Street Pop-Up.
The festival line-up mixes headline acts, rising stars, local favourites and family-friendly shows. Among the highlights are a Godber Studio takeover at Hull Truck Theatre and The Hullarious Fringe Festival, plus a 'Hull Comedian of the Year' competition where eight Hull comics battle for the crown. Rich Austin himself is billed as one of the second best comedians in Hull, and the critics have been more straightforward: Anthony J Brown of East Coast Comedy calls him 'one of the best comics on the circuit', while Peter Fox of Notts Comedy Review points to his 'dry wit, very strong writing, and no end of intelligence'.

STONE COLD is a full hour of stand-up, so you'll get a proper set rather than a short spot. If you're planning to go, keep in mind the timing: doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 8:30pm, which gives you plenty of time to get settled before he takes the stage. Tickets start from £5, and you'll find The Brain Jar at 4-6 Trinity House Lane, HU1 2JA.
