The Hedgehog: Saturday Night Stand-Up Comedy - ft. Louise Leigh & Ben Pope!

Welcome to The Hedgehog Comedy Club! Big laughs, brilliant value! Saturday night stand-up comedy in Bristol. Your Opener: Louise Leigh A wordsmith living in an idiot’s body, Louise’s comedy is warm, sharp and frequently physical; the kind that makes audiences laugh and then feel seen in a way they didn’t entirely sign up for. She’s been performing stand-up for a decade in some of the UK’s best comedy clubs. “A naturally funny woman” ★★★★ (Chortle) Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Finalist Your Closer: Ben Pope Ben is a comedian and bookseller, with a host of critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows under his belt. He’s written for Horrible Histories, Mock the Week (TLC), and Idler magazine, has opened for Simon Amstell and Nick Mohammed, and created the cult hit Ben’s Book Club. “Could an audience with the actual Pope offer as much?” ★★★★ (The Telegraph) “Excellent” (Joe Lycett) Your Guest MC: Tom Hutchinson Red-haired rising star of the South West, Tom Hutchinson brims with high-energy absurdism and sparky tangents, bringing everything from wild improvisations and witty asides to introspective anecdotes and relatable ramblings. “A formidable force of nature” (Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke) Runner-up, The Bristol Comedy Competition 2026 See top-notch comedy every weekend at The Hedgehog Comedy Club, bringing the UK’s finest comedians and an electric atmosphere to an iconic Bristol city centre venue: Basement 45.
