Mountbatten Watersports And Activities Centre

Our third Live at the MBC Comedy Night is back this month on Friday 29th June! Join us as we welcome three comedians to the Centre: Sandi Smith, Chris Chopping and Ignacio Lopez! Sandi is a West Country based comedian who has been performing for a year. In her first six months, she reached the semi final of Funny Women 2013 and the heats of the BBC New Comedy Awards. She's currently performing around the country, with tales, tips and observations from her forty-something years on earth. Chris started performing in 2011, and by now, his dry outlook and hilarious punchlines have secured him regular professional work on the live circuit. His strong material and deadpan persona have led to a cult following. Chris also gets a lot of bookings as an MC, proving himself to be a, "laconic host and quick witted raconteur" (South Wales Echo), and is also a regular guest on Jamie Owen's BBC Wales Radio Show. He recently filmed his TV debut for S4C's stand up showcase Gwerthu Allan filmed live at The Richard Burton Theatre (Broadcast date 05/01/17). Spaniard/Welshman Ignacio Lopez has been performing stand-up in English for five years. Splitting his time between Spain and the UK, he has become a much demanded opener, closer and MC, entertaining with his unique brand of sarcastic observations and witty lines, offering audiences a taste of what it's like to be the outsider and sometimes combining music and comedy, parodying famous songs to show cultural differences with hilarious results. In 2011, Ignacio beat thousands of comedians to appear in the final 10 competing in ITV1's 'Show Me The Funny' in the UK. He also appeared on Spanish Television, IB3's 'Noches de Comedia' performing in Spanish and on children's TV show 'Tati's Hotel' which aired in the UK and Canada on The Disney Channel. Recently Ignacio performed his solo show "Spain's Best Export" in Fratton Park, Portsmouth FC's ground, as part of a successful world record attempt for longest stand-up comedy show. Comedian and organiser, Joe Wells, singled out Ignacio's performance as his highlight of the show in The Guardian. Tickets are just £12 each or £60 for a group of six!
