Pop Up Comedy Night with Ben Norris, Tom Houghton & Alistair Barrie

Ben Norris, Tom Houghton and Alistair Barrie are taking the stage at Hanger Farm Arts Centre on Thursday 9 July, for a pop-up comedy night that brings three television comedians together for one evening. It's a straightforward bill: three acts, one night, and a fair bit of TV experience between them.

Ben Norris has been working as a professional comedian since 1993, and he's performed all over the world. You'll recognise him from Mock the Week and QI on BBC Two, so he's the one most of you will have seen on screen. Tom Houghton comes from the comedy troupe The Noise Next Door, and The European described him as "clever, passionate and soulful". He's shared stages with Michael McIntyre, Al Murray and Harry Hill, so he's used to playing alongside the big names. Alistair Barrie has also spent plenty of time on the road, with sets in Australia, Cape Town, Mumbai, New Zealand and New York City.

Between them, they've played on different continents and appeared on some of the biggest comedy shows on telly, and here they're all in the same room. It's a good mix of styles to have on one bill, and since they've all spent years touring and appearing on television, they're well-practised at holding a room.

The venue is Hanger Farm Arts Centre in West Totton, an 18th-century barn run by the learning disability charity Minstead Trust. It's a versatile space that hosts music, comedy, theatre and film, and it also doubles as an exhibition, wedding and meeting venue. The comedy night starts at 20:00, and tickets are £19.
