THE Winchester Gate in Salisbury is hosting its first event as part of its new monthly comedy nights in the Tent.

The Tent is a purpose-built multi-arts performance space built in the garden of the Rampart Road venue.

After being awarded a Cultural Recovery Grant from the Arts Council, the team at the Winchester Gate set about creating a fun circus-style amphitheatre to bring a wide selection of arts to the local community.

Every first Tuesday of the month The Winchester Gate will host a jam packed evening of laughs with both established and up and coming comedy acts.

The first line-up on Tuesday August 3 includes headline act Laura Lexx, pictured below, who has appeared on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle, Hypothetical and many more.

Salisbury Journal:

Warming the evening up is Hetty Austin, Guide Awards – Best Comedian 2019 - with material covering everything from the perils of being a hairy woman, to romance and video games.

Also featuring in the line-up is Sunjai Arif bringing his take on all aspects of modern life and Duncan Adam who has been making waves on the South Coast comedy circuit.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets are £6 in advance or £8 on the door.
