Britain's What's On Event Guide
Comedy at the Fort with Jo Caulfield, Matt Bragg & Mike Cox
Join us for a night of live comedy at the historic Fort Cumberland, home of the Portsmouth Distillery. Set within this unique coastal fort, Comedy at the Fort brings top-quality stand-up to one of Portsmouth’s most atmospheric venues.
The bar will be open all evening, serving cocktails and Portsmouth Distillery’s award-winning spirits, with a pizza van on site offering food before the show.
The evening will be hosted by local favourite James Alderson, known for his Bring Back The 80s podcast, who will guide you through a packed night of laughs.
Headlining the show is Jo Caulfield, an award-winning comedian, writer and actor celebrated for her sharp wit and fearless honesty. A regular on Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You and Live at the Apollo, Jo is one of the most respected performers on the UK comedy circuit.
Also appearing is Matt Bragg, whose distinctive deadpan style has earned him support slots with Ricky Gervais, Jason Manford and John Bishop. He was runner-up in Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2020 and has performed at the Edinburgh Festival.
Completing the line-up is Mike Cox, a high-energy performer and former South Coast Comedian of the Year, known for his sharp observational comedy and big stage presence.
Please note food and drinks are not included in the ticket price and must be purchased separately. Seating and stage are located within a marquee; heating is provided, but guests are advised to dress appropriately. Acts may be subject to change due to TV commitments beyond our control.
We look forward to welcoming you for a brilliant night of comedy at the fort.
