Southampton's Most Brutal Stand Comedy Open Mic Night with "The Gong Night" at The Attic

Experience the excitement of comedy in its raw, most brutal and unfiltered form yet at The Attic in Southampton "The Gong night". 

Comedy Gong night Southampton Hampshire

The Big Gong Show is a nerve-wracking, high-stakes comedy showdown where performers pit their finely tuned sets against the most unpredictable force in the room: the audience. With every punchline the comedian edges closer to either glory or humiliation, knowing full well that the Gong looms in the background, ready to bring their set to a crushing halt. It’s a test of timing, charisma, and survival instincts; where only the sharpest and most captivating survive to the end.

The power lies entirely with the crowd. If a joke falls flat or drags too long, the audience makes their disapproval known and the Gong sounds. The performer is cut off mid-routine, dreams dashed in a heartbeat.

But if the comic wins the audience over, riding the waves of laughter all the way to the finish, they leave the stage triumphant. It’s brutal. It’s thrilling. And every single set hangs by a thread.

Presiding over the chaos is the ever-formidable Masterful Irish, the night’s captain and enforcer. With a steely gaze and unshakable authority, he steers the ship through a sea of potential disasters and comedic gold. His decisions are final. His stare alone can silence a heckler or rattle a seasoned pro. In this arena, beating the Gong is just the beginning. Winning the crowd? 

That’s the real prize.
