The Coastal Comedy Christmas Special with Scott Bennett

Multi-award-winning Coastal Comedy brings you the festive funny at The Barn with a hand-picked line-up of some of the UK’s finest stand-up acts.

Our headline act Scott Bennett is one of the UK’s most respected stand-up comedians, with appearances on Live at the Apollo (BBC1) and The Royal Variety Performance (ITV). He’s a regular voice on BBC Radio 4, appearing on The News Quiz, The Now Show and alongside Sarah Millican on Elephant in the Room.

Scott has supported Mickey Flanagan on tour, including a 10,000-seat arena show, and previously toured nationally with Rob Brydon, as well as supporting Jason Manford and John Bishop. His BBC Radio 4 stand-up specials include Stuff (2023) and Blood Sugar Baby (2025).

During lockdown, Scott created the viral hit Stand Up from the Shed, earning national coverage across BBC News, Sky News and Five Live. He was voted Best Act at the Comics’ Comic Awards and nominated for Best Club Comedian at the Chortle Awards and we cannot wait to welcome him to Ringwood to headline this special show.

“Without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret” The Evening Standard

“A stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, a masterclass in adding a frisson of ‘in the moment’ unpredictability to otherwise tightly written routines” ★★★★ Chortle

Plus top support to be announced. This incredible triple bill of comedy is hosted by Adrienne Coles from award-winning Coastal Comedy Club. A fantastic night of live stand-up that won’t break the bank. Book early!
