The Lights continue to bring great shows to the venue and October is looking like a brilliant one.
Jaw-dropping Geordie comic Carl Hutchinson returns to The Lights this October!
With two consecutive sell-out shows at The Lights in previous years, Carl Hutchinson is back at the Andover theatre with a new show that is receiving rave reviews!
The Newcastle native comic, who has appeared on Stand Up Central, The Chris Ramsay Show and plenty more will be on The Lights stage in October…
Carl is an extremely talented comic who loves nothing more than telling hilarious and universally identifiable stories to audiences. With his observations of the world at the forefront of his shows, he has plenty of anecdotal moments that everyone can relate to. He uses everyday life and makes light of it.
Carl enjoys getting involved with audiences too, but doesn’t make it uncomfortable! He questions audiences on society, and enjoys making audiences nod, clap and laugh all in one motion with his quick replies.
Drunken adventures and mistakes will certainly feature, Hutchinson has the ability to find the funny side to all of the mishaps of adult life. The self-deprecating comic returns on Friday, 7 October to The Lights in Andover, and the new show starts at 8pm sharp.
Carl Hutchinson is represented by Avalon, alongside comedians such as Al Murray, who has visited The Lights in 2022, Chris Ramsay (Carl’s best friend) and Greg Davies (who has been at The Lights numerous times over the years) to name but a few. With fantastic company within this well-respected comedy agency, Carl certainly holds his own, and people willing to visit the theatre in Andover will see that for themselves.
