Gunpowder WIP
Houdini's After Dark Bar, Southampton, SO14 2BX
Friday 18th December 2026 7:30PM
Gunpowder is a witty, political satire in which Guy Fawkes makes his triumphant return to the world of the living. He is appalled. Not much has changed, but could Guy's unwavering optimism in the face of a bleak future make him the Gen Z superhero we've been waiting for?
This thirty-minute show is written and performed by new comedian Charly Armstrong. It combines stand-up, character comedy, and audience participation (optional) to explore the social landscape, the modern art of protest, and whether or not Morris dancing is the height of punk.
Inspired by shows like The Young Ones, Horrible Histories, and the Philomena Cunk series, Gunpowder will find its audience in comedy fans, history nerds, and wannabe anarchists alike.
This show is a work in progress - Charly will be testing out new material and refining her act ahead of the fringe festival season.
Gunpowder will be supported by six other up-and-coming comics, all regulars on the Hampshire circuit.
These fantastically funny acts include Alfie Nelson, Jian Douglas, Rachel Sullivan, Anthony Gunfield, and James Marsh.
This is an 18+ event
There is a bar where audience members can buy drinks throughout the night.
