Stitches Comedy

Stitches Comedy returns to the Square Tower in Old Portsmouth on Thursday 10 December. It's a club night that brings four professional comedians together for one evening, and this particular bill features Scott Bennett, Naomi Cooper and Mike Gunn, with James Alderson on MC duties.

The format is straightforward: the MC opens the night and keeps things moving between the acts, and you get three full sets from the line-up. It's a proper comedy club night in a concert-style room, so you're there for the stand-up rather than a mixed variety bill. It's an adults-only evening, not one for kids, so it's best kept as a night out with friends.

The venue is the Square Tower on Broad Street in Old Portsmouth (PO1 2ND), a fifteenth-century building that's been converted into a performance space. There's a well-stocked bar inside, and there's parking available just outside if you're driving in. It's a bit of a landmark in the Old Portsmouth area, so it's easy enough to find once you're down there.

Doors open at 19:00, and the show starts at 20:00, usually wrapping up around 22:15. Tickets are between £22 and £23, so it's a paid event. If you're planning to grab a drink before the first act, getting in closer to the opening time gives you plenty of room to settle in before the comedy kicks off.
